Residential Solar Power Installation – Hertfordshire
Project Overview
Project Title: Residential Solar Power Installation – Gareth Parris Home
Location: Hertfordshire, UK
Installation Date: 1st April
Project Duration: 1 Day
Installer: Future Proof Solar
This residential solar power installation was undertaken to transition the client’s household to sustainable energy. The goal was to reduce grid reliance and improve long-term energy cost efficiency.
Project Objectives
The key goals of a residential solar power installation:
- Reducing dependency on conventional grid electricity
- Lowering carbon emissions associated with household energy use
- Delivering long-term financial savings through solar generation
- Enhancing property value with a modern, eco-friendly energy solution
Site Description
The residential solar power installation took place in Hertfordshire, an area with strong solar potential:
- Solar Irradiance: 950–1,100 kWh/m²/year
- Roof Type: Concrete tiles on East- and West-facing sections
This roof orientation, while not South-facing, still offered ample exposure to sunlight throughout the day, making it a viable site for PV deployment.
System Design
A grid-tied system was designed with backup capability via a gateway to maintain power supply during outages.
System Specifications:
- Total Capacity: 11.83 kWh
- Solar Panels: 26 × 455W Aiko N-Type All Black Panels
- Inverter: 10 kW SigEnergy Hybrid Inverter
- Battery Storage: 2 × 8 kWh SigEnergy Batteries
- Energy Gateway: SigEnergy Homemax Gateway
- Monitoring: Real-time tracking through a Wi-Fi-enabled mobile app
This combination ensured both performance efficiency and user-friendly operation.
Installation Process
The project followed a streamlined, one-day installation schedule:
Pre-Installation Activities:
- Site inspection
- Shading analysis
- Energy usage assessment
Installation Steps:
- Mounting hardware installation
- Panel and inverter setup
- Electrical wiring and system integration
- System testing, safety checks, and final commissioning
Performance & Results
Estimated Annual Production: 11,558 kWh
Actual Output (Year 1): 11,960 kWh
Energy Bill Reduction: Up to 80% savings
Estimated Payback Period: 4 years
The system outperformed initial projections in its first year, confirming the value of a well-designed and executed solar installation.
Conclusion
The solar energy system installed at the clients home stands as a strong example of how residential solar solutions can deliver measurable environmental and financial benefits. With minimal installation disruption and strong performance metrics, this project highlights Future Proof Solar’s commitment to sustainable, high-quality energy solutions for homeowners.
