12.6 kW in Roof Solar Array with 2 x Tesla Powerwall 2 Batteries

A rather smart 12.6 kW array of 45 solar panels being in stalled in roof this week in Herefordshire.

45 x 280 w JA Solar Panels, fully Solar Edge optimized with 3 x Solar Edge HD Wave inverter connected to 2 x Tesla Powerwall 2 Batteries.

The system will generate over 11806 kW’s of electric a year which will make a huge dent in this properties electricity bill (they have a swimming pool, and we all know they aren’t cheap to run).

As of December the Batteries can also be charged using night rate electricity for use during peak times which will only further the customers savings going forwards.

 

Local Biomass installation ready for commissioning on Monday to beat the RHI cuts!

We have installed 4 x Windhager Biowin XL 60 kW automatic feed pellet boilers at Lyde Court in Hereford, to heat their main house, dormitories and wedding venue.

240 kW total system.

We had a surprise announcement just after we started the project that the RHI tariff’s were being reduced sooner than expected and we didn’t want our customers to loose out on the higher tariff so all engineers were sent to site to get the project complete in time.

With a new tariff applicable from the 20th September we are ready to commission on Monday 18th and paused ready to submit the RHI application!

 

Tesla Data

We are sat in the office monitoring our Solar PV and Tesla Battery back at home.

Today isn’t a bad day for solar generation, our system is averaging 2.7 kW, 300watts of which is supporting the houses standing load and the rest is charging our Tesla battery.

This evening when everyone is home, the lights, the TV, the oven and the dishwasher all go on we still wont be having to pay for any electricity from the grid, our battery will discharge so that we can use the solar generation from today.

98% of our day has been self powered!

 

In Roof Solar pv pack.

We have installed an in roof solar photovoltaic pack on a timber frame new build in Brilley.

The solar is a fully optimized using solar edge technology and we have also installed a Mitsubishi Air Source Heat Pump with underfloor heating downstairs, radiators upstairs and bathrooms.

Mitsubishi Heat Pump, Underfloor Heating, Tesla Powerwall and Solar PV

Yesterday’s installation on a Mitsubishi Ecodan Air Source Heat Pump onto a low loss header with two underfloor circuits and a zone to run a swimming pool. Alongside a Tesla Powerwall on a SolarEdge optimized PV pack.

Solar Edge Optimised panel installation

We beat the Windy weather this week and installed a 5.6 kW peak system fully Solar Edge optimised.

The Solar Edge 3680 HD Wave inverter allows us to install up to 5.7 kW’s of Solar PV onto a single phase domestic supply without having to apply to the DNO.

The Solar Edge optimisation means that the inverter will not just be looking at the panels as one string but individually so that you benefit from greater generation!

We are currently awaiting the arrival of a Tesla Powerwall 2 for this installation so the customer will also benefit from Battery Storage.

Windhager Biowin 2 Touch Installation

Our latest Biomass installation – A Windhager Biowin 2 Touch pellet boiler – an incredibly smart boiler with touch screen technology, web enabled.

Providing Heating & Hot water to a domestic property in Brecon. This installation will benefit from Domestic Renewable Heat Incentive payment.

Laying pipes for underfloor heating

It is said that the same level of comfort is achieved with the temperature in an underfloor heated room about 2°C lower than in a room heated with conventional radiators. Wall mounted radiators act as convectors to heat the air, with underfloor heating, the whole floor area acts as a emitter for radiated heat. We hope our customers enjoy their cosy toes!
