Transforming Energy: A Solar Revolution in Comberton, Cambridgeshire
An innovative method to convert oil-heated homes
This project marks a significant milestone in the journey towards sustainable living for residents of Comberton in Cambridgeshire. In this town, many residents rely on oil to heat their homes, while all appliances operate on electricity. However, one forward-thinking customer has broken free from oil heating, opting for a comprehensive solar panel system, complete with battery storage and a solar iBoost system to harness solar energy for hot water needs.
An important innovation being employed in this project is the integration of the much more efficient heat-the-individual technology known as infra-red heating panels. These can be powered directly by the solar system, providing a highly responsive home heating solution.
The proposed solar system's holistic approach is designed to cover the household's energy needs in all seasons, including winter, which also positions the homeowner as a forerunner in the community's conversion to greener and cleaner energy.
A thorough MCS-compliant site survey was done by our renewable energy engineer, utilizing drone technology to capture essential data and roof shading factors hence minimizing the risks prior to the project, including an electrical assessment of the project to best determine locations for inverter and battery hardware. This level of planning ensures that the installation will be delivered in line with the agreed time-frame.
We hope this installation/project will demonstrate to oil-dependent residents that combining solar systems with infra-red technology can achieve independence from the grid and its price fluctuations and lead to a healthy environment through the reduction of CO2 emissions, thereby combating climate change.
In improving the energy efficiency of the property, the home-owner can upgrade the Energy Performance Certificate (EPC), and would get a better return on investment (ROI) in their home.
