Why did Peter install solar PV?

Having looked at the ROI and the carbon reductions, it made sense to install Solar PV. My home has a large South-West facing roof with no shading and receives sunlight for most of the day. I also wanted to contribute toward charging our electric car using a renewable energy source and increase my homes BER rating, while lowering our energy bills.

What was our goal for Peter?

Following a consultation with Peter, our goal was to design him a Solar PV system that would contribute toward charging his electric vehicle using a renewable energy source while lowering his energy bills and increasing his BER rating.

What solution did Swyft Energy recommend?

We designed and installed a 16 panel solar PV system combined with a 5.6kW Sonnen Battery, enabling Peter to store the renewable energy generated by his solar panels during the day which can be discharged at night time when his home had the highest electricity requirement.

Why did Ryders Pharmacy install solar PV?

Ryders Pharmacy (being a business) has a consistent electricity consumption profile throughout the day powering their immersion heater, store lights, display lights, fridges etc. They were looking to lower their carbon footprint while lowering their annual running costs.

What was our goal for Ryders Pharmacy?

Our goal for Ryders pharmacy was to design a system that could take advantage of their consistent consumption profile. We wanted to ensure all energy generated by the system was being consumed by the pharmacy onsite in real time removing the need for battery storage and ensuring no excess energy is ever fed back to the grid.

What Solution did Swyft Energy reccomend?

We designed and installed an 18-panel solar PV system combined with a modulating immersion. The system was sized to ensure all energy would be consumed onsite as it was generated and if there was any excess energy it would be diverted to the modulating immersion to heat their hot water as instead of going back to the grid.

Why did Pat install Solar PV?

I have been researching solar PV and battery storage for some time now. I did not make the move in the past because I was weary of how fast the technology was changing and innovating. I feel solar PV technology has settled in recent years and the price vs the efficiency and return on investment is in a very good place -

What was our goal for Pat?

Our goal for Pat was to design and install a system that would give him return on his investment overtime, lower his carbon emissions, and increase his homes BER rating. Pats energy consumption is higher in the evening time than during the day so to achieve this goal, we would need to install some form of storage.

What solution did Swyft Energy reccomend: We We designed and installed an 18-panel solar PV system combined with a 5kWh hybrid Sonnen battery for Pat. This system allows Pat to generate solar energy during the day which can be stored and distributed to appliances at night-time. We also programmed Pat’s battery for night cycling meaning the system recharges using lower cost nighttime rates for distribution to appliances during the day.
