Francis's Farm

Introduction

Francis took a significant step towards energy independence with the installation of a 7 kW solar system at Flaxdrayton Farm. This project underscores the commitment to renewable energy and a sustainable future.

Installation highlights

The system includes 14 cutting-edge Hengdian Group DMEGC Magnetics 500W panels paired with a 7 kW Fox ESS hybrid inverter. To ensure maximum efficiency, it incorporates two Fox ESS EP11 batteries, providing a combined storage capacity of 20.72 kWh.

Energy generation and savings

This solar powerhouse generates an impressive 6,356 kWh annually, catering to most of Francis's energy needs and cutting down the utility bill significantly. With yearly savings of £1,520, the system is projected to pay for itself in approximately 9 years.

Battery benefits

The two high-capacity Fox ESS EP11 batteries allow Francis to store excess energy for nighttime use, ensuring seamless energy availability and reducing grid reliance by up to 76%. This smart integration makes every ray of sunlight work harder for the home.

Environmental impact

By generating clean energy, the system avoids 2,000 kg of CO2 emissions annually, equivalent to planting 309 trees or offsetting 10 flights to Madrid every year. This is sustainability in action, delivering tangible environmental benefits.

Financial outlook

The system is a sound investment, with net savings projected to exceed £69,484 over its 25-year lifetime. Beyond financial benefits, it provides peace of mind with its 25-year panel warranty and 10-year warranty on the inverter and batteries.

Customer satisfaction

Francis can now enjoy reduced energy bills and the satisfaction of contributing to a greener planet. The quiet, efficient operation of the system ensures a hassle-free experience.

Conclusion

This project is a stellar example of how thoughtful design and cutting-edge technology can transform energy consumption. It’s a win-win for Francis and the environment!
