Solar PV installation with battery storage in Ilkeston
Savings forecast
The financial savings forecast presented is based on several assumptions and estimates, including a switch from a standard electricity tariff rate of 28p to the Octopus Flexible tariff. The projected energy cost assumes an annual increase of 7.0% due to current trends in rising energy prices. This estimate is tailored to your selected preferences, current energy costs, and the position and orientation of your roof, which affect the system's efficiency. Projections assume an estimated energy usage of 7,000 kWh per year and are based on a Standard 28p Electricity Tariff. Please note that actual savings may vary due to fluctuations in electricity tariff rates, changes in energy consumption, or variations in the performance of the solar system. The installation of this solar system may impact your electricity tariff rates; you should contact your electricity retailer for further information. The forecasts provided align with the guidelines set by the Microgeneration Certification Scheme (MCS). However, these forecasts should not be considered guaranteed savings, and they are subject to change based on market conditions, regulatory changes, or individual circumstances. Customers are encouraged to consult with an independent financial advisor before making any investment decisions.

Ilkeston, Derbyshire
We have just had a 7.0kw Solar PV system installed with 16 panels, Luxpower hybrid inverter, battery storage, water diverter and a MyEnergi Zappi EV charger, the system has been up and running now for a couple of weeks and we cant believe how much energy we are producing, one day last week the system started to produce from about 5:30am ! until about 9:00pm absolutely brilliant, we produced 51kw total that day..wow..the system has exceeded our expectations.
From the initial consultation with Roger ( Make your energy ) producing a detailed report of energy expectations and equipment options for the most efficient system for our requirements and roof size, Chris and his team have been very professional and extremely knowledgeable, nothing was too much trouble, Chris even did a roof survey with a drone and pointed out a couple of cracked tiles , which he had replaced, we were informed at every stage of timescales for the scaffolders and roofers who again were very professional.
The quality of the installation was excellent a very neat job, Jordan who did most of the installation was very knowledgeable and friendly, Chris even bought a skip bag for the rubbish, We would highly recommend to use Chris and his team for Solar PV installation, and cant wait for some more sun !!
