Mark's home

A bright new chapter for Mark's home

When Mark decided to install a solar energy system in his home in Ilkeston, he wasn’t just looking for a way to cut his electricity bills; he was making a commitment to a greener future. Our team was more than ready to help him turn this bright idea into reality.

Solar power, rain or shine

Mark's new system features 16 high-performance Jinko Solar panels with a total capacity of 7.04 kW. These panels are designed to capture sunlight efficiently even on cloudy days. While some may think solar power only works on sunny days, Mark’s system proves otherwise. Whether it's a classic sunny day or a typically overcast English afternoon, his home continues to generate clean, renewable energy.

Cutting-edge technology for peak performance

The installation also includes a Lux Power 6K inverter and a Hanchu ESS 9.4 kWh battery. The inverter ensures that the solar power generated is converted efficiently into usable electricity, while the battery storage allows Mark to store excess energy for use during peak times. This means more self-consumption, less reliance on the grid, and greater savings on electricity bills. Mark can now charge his car, fill his home battery and run anything else at 7p per kW using Octopus Intelligent Go tariff for 6 hours every night. He also opted for the MyEnergi Eddi power diverter so he can divert excess solar energy to heat his hot water tank.

Easy installation with plenty of support

We ensured every part of the installation was done with care and precision. Our team of skilled technicians handled every step, from setting up the panels to connecting the inverter and battery. And thanks to our comprehensive monitoring system, Mark can now keep an eye on his solar production and energy usage in real time through an easy-to-use app.

Savings that make a difference

With an average forecasted monthly saving of £69 and a yearly saving of £825, Mark is looking at a total saving of £20,725 over the system's lifetime. With a forecasted ROI of just 9 years, Mark's decision to go solar is not just good for the planet, but also great for his wallet.

Doing our part for the planet

Beyond financial savings, the environmental impact is substantial too. Mark's new solar energy system offsets approximately 2,000 kg of CO₂ annually – that's like planting 294 trees every year! And if you're into travel trivia, that’s equivalent to preventing 33 flights from England to Madrid each year.

Looking ahead

For Mark, the journey doesn’t stop here. His system is designed to provide clean energy for decades to come, with warranties covering the equipment for up to 30 years. And with our ongoing support, he can enjoy peace of mind knowing he’s made a solid investment in both his home and the planet.
