We desgined and installed a complete renewable energy system at a property in Voe.
Combining a 7kWp rooftop solar PV array, 18.08kWh of Sigenergy battery storage, intelligent energy management, whole-home backup capability and a Sigenergy DC EV charging solution.
The aim of the project was to create a high-performance energy system that could maximise use of renewable electricty generated on site.
Rather than simply installing solar panels, the customer wanted a more complete solution;
The roof layout also required the PV array to be designed across different rood areas while maintaining strong overall generation performance.
Following survey and design we installed a 7 kWp solar PV array comprising of 15 AIKO 490W N-Type panels, mouted using K2 solar mounting equipment.
The solar array was intergrated with a Sigenergy single-phase hybrid energy system and two Sigenergy battery modules providing 18.08kWh nominal storage capacity and 17.52kWh usable capacity.
The AIKO panels use N-Type ABC technology and are designed for high efficiency and storage long-term performance.
The two Sigenergy battery modules provide 18.08kWh of nominal storage, allowing surplus solar generation produced during the day to be stored and used later when household demand exceeds PV production.
The battery installation is certified and capable of operating in island mode, meaning the system can continue supplying the property when the grid is unavailable - subject to the available battery capacity and system load.
The Sigenergy HomePro Gateway provides the interface for whole-home backup and seamless switching between available energy sources.
A particular interesting feature of this project is the intergration of a Sigenergy DV EV charging module.
Unlike a conventional standalone AC EV charger, the Sigenergy system allows EV charging to becone part of the wider home energy ecosystem.
The installed tehcnonolgy supports DC charging up to 25kW. Smart load management and charging from renewable solar energy through the Sigenergy system.
This gives the customer the potential to make even greater use of the self-generated renewable electricty by directing available energy into their vehicle rather than exporting it unnecesssarily.
The completed solar PV installation has an estimated annual generation of 5,145kWh. The original system modelling estimated that the combination of solar and battery storage could provide approximatley 43% grid electricty independence (based on the assumed annual consuption profile used during design).
This installation demonstrates how modern renewable tehcnonolgy can bring several energy systems together into one intelligent solution.
Instead of viewing solar panels, batteries, EV charging and backup power as separate products, the Sigenergy platfor, allows them to operate as part of a complete energy system.
The result is a system designed not only to generate renewable electricity - but to; store, manage and use it intelligently and direct it where it provides the greatest value.
Whether you are looking for solar PV, battery storage, EV charging, backup power or a combination of technologies, our team can design a solution around your property and energy requirements.
We also ensure full compliance with current electrical standards and DNO requirements.
Get in touch to arrange a no-obligation consultation and find out how much you could save with solar and battery storage.
We handle the technical design, installation, commissioning and network notification.
The installation was accepted by SSEN under the G98 notification process, with the network records updated accordingly. The installtion has a declared net capacity of 3.68kW for grid cinnection purposes.
Seperate MCS certificates were issued for both the solar PV system and the battery storage installation, providing the customer with the documentation required to pursue Smart Export Guarantee arrangements with their electricity supplier.
"Really nice, polite guys were the sparkies; they worked away quietly and left a tidy job at the end of each day. I’m recommending your business at every opportunity."
"I cannot praise the way your boys working highly enough, not a minute wasted. Not only is the standard of their work excellent but they also cleaned up after themselves at the end of each day in a way I’ve rarely experienced with other tradesfolk. Best wishes from one happy customer."
"Just a wee note to thank you again for organising the electrical work on my house at such short notice. It is genuinely very much appreciated."
