Case Study: Enhanced Solar Energy Storage for Domestic Customer in High Wycombe
Project Overview
At Solar Services Solutions, we pride ourselves on fostering long-term relationships with our customers and enhancing their energy independence through innovative solar solutions. Recently, we revisited a project for Melanie Ashton in High Wycombe to expand her existing solar system with an additional battery. This upgrade was aimed at maximizing her solar energy utilization and achieving greater self-sufficiency.
Client Background
Melanie Ashton, a resident of High Wycombe, originally had a solar installation completed by Solar Services Solutions in her garage. This initial setup included solar panels and a battery, providing her with renewable energy for her home. However, Melanie encountered a challenge: her solar panels produced more energy during the day than her single battery could store, leaving excess energy unused and leading to grid reliance in the evenings.
The Upgrade
To address this issue, Melanie decided to add an additional battery to her system. This decision was influenced by her goal to store more of the surplus energy generated by her solar panels and reduce her dependency on the grid, particularly during evening hours.
Technical Details
- Location: High Wycombe
- Existing Installation: Solar panels with an initial battery installed by Solar Services Solutions
- Upgrade: Installation of an additional battery
- System Capacity: The solar panel system generates 2.43 kW, with 1.82 kW directed to the new battery.
- Outcome: Enhanced energy storage leading to greater self-sufficiency and efficient energy use.
