Steve's home

Introduction

Steve made a significant move towards sustainability with a 14.08 kW solar system at his residence in Pennymoor. This project demonstrates the benefits of renewable energy in reducing carbon emissions and achieving energy independence.

Installation highlights

The system includes 32 JA Solar 440W panels paired with a Fox ESS KH10.5 hybrid inverter and two Fox ESS EP11 batteries, offering a combined storage capacity of 20.72 kWh. This configuration ensures optimal energy capture, storage, and usage.

Energy generation and savings

Generating an impressive 15,944 kWh annually, this solar system provides Steve with substantial savings on his energy bills. With projected annual savings of £3,050, the system is expected to pay for itself in under 5 years, delivering exceptional value over its lifetime.

Battery benefits

The dual Fox ESS EP11 batteries allow for efficient storage of excess solar energy, maximising usage and reducing reliance on the grid. With a grid independence rate of 72%, Steve can enjoy greater energy security.

Environmental impact

By avoiding 4,000 kg of CO2 emissions annually, Steve’s solar installation is equivalent to offsetting the emissions of 20 flights to Madrid or planting 776 trees. It’s a remarkable contribution to a cleaner environment.

Financial outlook

With a projected lifetime savings of £130,487 over 25 years, this solar installation is a lucrative investment. Backed by a 25-year panel warranty and a 10-year warranty on the inverter and batteries, the system provides long-term peace of mind.

Customer satisfaction

Steve now enjoys lower energy bills and the satisfaction of contributing to environmental preservation. The system’s robust design ensures consistent performance throughout the year.

Conclusion

This project underscores the potential of renewable energy to transform energy consumption patterns and deliver significant financial and environmental benefits. Steve’s journey to sustainability sets an inspiring example for others.
