Project Goal: The homeowner, Jemima, was frustrated with escalating energy bills and the lack of transparency from energy providers. She sought to drastically reduce her reliance on grid electricity and achieve greater energy self-sufficiency.

Challenges Faced: A primary challenge was the homeowner’s concern about large energy bills and the dependency on external energy suppliers. The design needed to ensure comprehensive coverage throughout the day and efficient energy storage for night use.

Solutions Implemented: To address these challenges, our team designed a robust system that included:

High-Performance Solar Panels: Installing 39 high-efficiency Risen 440W panels across the East, North, and West sides of the roof ensured optimal sunlight capture throughout the day.
Advanced Battery Storage: The Alpha 13.3kWh battery system was integrated to store excess solar energy generated during peak hours, providing sufficient power for nighttime usage and further reducing grid dependency.

Outcomes and Results: The installation was completed efficiently within a month, with the following results:

Energy Self-Sufficiency: The system’s design ensures that Jemima’s daily energy needs are met primarily through solar power, significantly reducing her need to draw expensive grid electricity.
Reduced Energy Costs: The combination of solar panels and battery storage has led to a substantial decrease in energy bills.
Aesthetic Integration: The installation was executed not only for functionality but also with an eye on aesthetics, ensuring that the solar panels and battery system complement the home’s exterior.
