Project Location: Burnham-on-Crouch, Essex
Customer: Mr. & Mrs. Davison
Objective: Install solar panels and battery storage to increase energy independence and reduce electricity costs.
Process Overview:
- Initial Contact and Consultation:
- Discussed energy goals, current electricity provider, annual consumption, and daily property usage.
- Evaluated roof size, shape, direction, and estimated panel requirements.
- Offered a free, no-obligation site visit.
- Site Visit:
- Inspected the roof internally and externally to ensure it could support the solar system.
- Proposed a system of 12 solar panels and a FOX ESS hybrid system with a total of 5.8 kW storage capacity (2.9 kW master and 2.9 kW slave batteries).
- System Proposal:
- Estimated annual generation: 3,700 kWh.
- CO2 savings: 786 kg/year.
- Financial benefits: Savings of £1,091 in the first year, with a payback period of 7 years.
- Total cost: £8,720 (inclusive of VAT).
- Installation Details:
- Required a minor upgrade to the existing fuse board.
- Provided a detailed quote and proposal for the system.
- Installation steps included scheduling, scaffolding, ordering equipment, performing electrical checks, and completing the installation within one to two days.
- Post-installation, the system was commissioned and necessary authorities were notified.
- Additional Features:
- Installed a SOLAR iBOOST to utilize excess energy for heating water once batteries were full.
- The FOX ESS system allowed for energy monitoring via the FoxCloud2.0 app.
- Outcome:
- Mr. & Mrs. Davison reported better-than-expected results and were highly satisfied with the system’s performance and the monitoring capabilities.
