6.75 kW Solar Panels with 13 kWh Battery Storage

We recently completed a solar PV installation for a residential property in Hythe, where the homeowners were eager to make their home more energy-efficient and environmentally friendly. This project consisted of a 6.75 kW peak solar panel system paired with 13 kWh of battery storage, offering the perfect solution for reducing energy bills and lowering their carbon footprint.

Project Overview

The system installed included:

• 6.75 kW peak of solar PV panels, providing ample energy generation for the home.
• 13 kWh of battery storage, allowing the homeowners to store excess solar energy generated during the day for use during the evening or on cloudy days.
• Installation on two roof elevations with two separate solar arrays for maximum exposure and efficiency.

The system is designed to meet the customers’ immediate needs, while also being future-proof, allowing them to easily upgrade with more panels or battery storage if they choose to expand their energy system in the future.

The Customer’s Goals

The homeowner approached us with a clear set of objectives:

• Go greener by harnessing clean, renewable energy from the sun.
• Reduce energy bills by generating and storing their own electricity.
• Plan for future upgrades, ensuring they can add more solar capacity and battery storage as needed.

By opting for this system, they are now less reliant on the grid and well on their way to a more sustainable lifestyle.

Installation Details

The house featured two roof elevations, which allowed us to install two separate solar arrays to capture the optimal amount of sunlight throughout the day. This setup maximizes energy generation from different angles and helps smooth out the overall energy output.

To minimize disruption inside the house, the inverters and batteries were installed in the garage, keeping the main living areas clutter-free and ensuring that the system is both functional and discreet. With 13 kWh of battery storage, the homeowners can now store surplus energy for later use, reducing their reliance on the grid during the evenings and times when solar production is lower.

Future-Proofing the System

Understanding that the homeowners were keen to upgrade their system in the future, we designed the installation to be expandable. If they wish to add more panels or battery storage, the system can easily be scaled up without major alterations, providing flexibility for future energy needs.

Benefits for the Homeowner

With their new solar PV system, the homeowners in Hythe will enjoy:

• Lower energy bills, as they can generate and store much of their electricity needs.
• A reduced carbon footprint, contributing to a cleaner, more sustainable environment.
• The option to expand the system in the future, allowing them to further reduce grid dependency as their energy needs grow.
