Going green with a solar panel and battery installation

Works carried out

  • 12 x Trina 400w photovoltaic panels
  • Solax inverter install
  • Solax battery

Project overview

This case study focuses on a project in which a client required a comprehensive solar solution to reduce both their energy costs and carbon footprint. Specifically, the system installed includes 12 x 400W solar panels, a high-efficiency inverter, and battery storage. The primary goal of this installation was to provide long-term savings, while also ensuring independence from fluctuating electricity prices.

System Design and installation

The design involved installing 12 solar panels, each rated at 400W, thus providing a total system output of 4,800W (4.8kW). Additionally, the choice of high-efficiency panels ensures optimal energy generation, even in varying weather conditions. To complement this we selected the inverter to match the system’s output, converting DC power from the panels into usable AC power. Furthermore, we integrated battery storage, allowing the client to store excess energy for use in the evening or on cloudy days, thus boosting energy independence.

Return on investment (ROI)

One of the most critical considerations for any solar installation is the return on investment. In this scenario, the ROI is estimated to be under 8 years. As a result, the initial investment in the solar system was offset by significant reductions in the client’s monthly energy bills.. Moreover, the system’s ability to store energy for use during peak hours means the client can avoid high-cost electricity during these times.

Financial benefit

The reduction in electricity bills, combined with government incentives for renewable energy installations, accelerates the payback period. As energy prices continue to rise, the benefits of the solar installation become even more pronounced. Ensuring long-term savings and a solid return on investment.

Conclusion

Ultimately, this solar installation not only provides significant financial savings but also supports sustainability goals. With an ROI under 8 years, it’s a smart investment for clients looking to cut energy costs and environmental impact.

The team at May Connections were excellent, we were in need of a consumer unit upgrade and called them to give us a quote. Shaun was quick to respond with a site visit where he answered all of our questions. He was on time, polite and very tidy! Would highly recommend.

Shaun came out to look at our kitchen power and found the fault in good time. We were also interested in having our fuseboard updated, he got the quote across quickly and we moved ahead. Which we are so glad with as we are now looking at a new electric vehicle charge point and May connections will be dealing with that also. Great company and would recommend to all friends and family.

James and Daryl were here for two days and completed the job perfectly. Very professional and friendly. Nothing was too much trouble and the work was of a very high standard. All of my questions were answered with easily understood answers. I cannot recommend this team highly enough. You will not find a better team for any electrical work.

We had a very positive experience working with Shaun, James and the team at Mays Connections. It was a large scale job for us, not for MC, and it was really reassuring for me particularly to be working with a company with experience in our industry. All works were carried out punctually, efficiently and to a high standard. Highly recommend and won’t hesitate to use them again as and when the need arises.
