Glyn's home

Introduction

Glyn took a pivotal step towards energy independence with a 5.46 kW solar system installed at their home in Teignmouth. This project highlights the benefits of renewable energy, delivering financial savings and reducing environmental impact.

Installation highlights

The system consists of 13 REC 420W panels coupled with a Fox ESS H1 5 kW hybrid inverter and a Fox ESS EP11 10.36 kWh battery. This setup ensures efficient energy conversion and storage for day and night usage.

Energy generation and savings

Generating 4,866 kWh annually, the system meets a significant portion of Glyn’s energy needs. With projected annual savings of £1,150, the system is set to pay for itself in 8 years, making it a sound financial investment.

Battery benefits

The Fox ESS EP11 battery allows Glyn to store excess solar energy for use during peak times or at night, achieving grid independence of up to 68%. This reduces reliance on the grid and maximises the use of self-generated solar power.

Environmental impact

The system avoids 1,000 kg of CO2 emissions annually, equivalent to offsetting 5 flights to Madrid or planting 240 trees. This reflects Glyn’s commitment to a sustainable future.

Financial outlook

The installation is expected to deliver a lifetime savings of £63,190 over 25 years. The robust warranties on the panels (25 years), inverter, and battery (10 years each) provide additional peace of mind.

Customer satisfaction

Glyn now enjoys lower energy bills and the satisfaction of contributing to environmental conservation. The system’s seamless operation ensures reliable energy savings all year round.

Conclusion

This project demonstrates the value of solar technology in achieving energy independence and environmental sustainability. Glyn’s solar journey sets an example for adopting renewable energy solutions.
