Project report
Paul, a resident of Dymchurch, aimed to enhance his home's energy efficiency and cut down on his high energy bills with a new solar PV system. We installed a 5.81 kW system featuring 14 Trina Vertex S 415W All Black Mono solar panels. These high-efficiency panels are paired with a SolaX X1 G4 6.0D hybrid inverter, ensuring optimal energy conversion and performance.
To maximize the benefits, we also installed a battery storage system with a SolaX Triple 5.8kWh LFP Battery. This setup allows Paul to store excess energy generated during the day for use at night. Paul's solar system has been so effective that he has since added an additional 5.8kWh battery to store even more of the free energy he's generating.
With this system, Paul’s home is expected to generate approximately 6,026 kWh of electricity annually, significantly reducing his electricity bills and carbon footprint. It was a pleasure to work at Paul's seaside home, and we are very pleased with the outcome.
Every year, Paul offsets the carbon equivalent of taking 5 flights to Madrid
