Scope
The primary objective of this project was to provide a comprehensive solar installation coupled with a storage solution for a residence in Folksworth, Peterborough.
Activity
- Solar Panel Installation: Cambridge Roofers took the lead on the solar panel wiring and installation process. The steps involved were:
- Site Assessment: An evaluation was carried out to determine the roof’s suitability, considering factors like orientation, slope, and any potential shading.
- Solar Panels: After assessing the site, 16 units of 250Wp solar panels were meticulously installed, ensuring maximum solar exposure and alignment.
- Inverter and Battery Storage Installation: The DC (Direct Current) electricity produced by solar panels needs to be converted to AC (Alternating Current) for household utilities. For this:
- Battery Storage: To ensure energy availability even during non-sunny hours, the Givenergy All- In-One 13.5kWh battery storage unit was installed externally. This allows for the storage of excess energy generated during the day, ensuring uninterrupted power supply even during the night or cloudy days.
- Inverter: The Solis 3.6kW inverter was installed by a reliable subcontractor.
Appendix
Solar Panels: Careful consideration was given to the arrangement and orientation of each solar panel, making sure each unit received optimal sunlight exposure.
All-In-One Inverter and Battery Installation: The inverter and battery storage unit were placed externally. Proper precautions were taken to ensure their protection from the elements, and they were set up in a location that provides easy access for monitoring and maintenance.
Conclusion
Cambridge Roofers, with their expertise and collaboration with a skilled subcontractor, have once again showcased their proficiency in delivering a top-notch solar PV system with storage in Folksworth, Peterborough. The integration of the battery storage unit ensures that the residence can benefit from solar energy even when the sun isn’t shining, reaffirming Cambridge Roofers’ commitment to providing sustainable and efficient solutions for their customers.
