For this homeowner in the heart of Manchester, the goal was ambitious: maximize their roof potential to achieve near-total energy independence. They wanted a system capable of generating and storing enough power to run their home day and night—effectively creating their own private green power station.

To meet that brief, our team engineered a high-capacity solar array designed to utilize the available roof space for maximum daily output.

System Breakdown
6kW Hybrid Inverter: A heavy-duty hub capable of managing high solar power generation and handling the energy demands of a busy household.

18.8kWh Battery Storage: Built by linking two 9.4kWh batteries, giving the home massive storage capacity to run through peak evening hours and overcast days.

Perimeter Bird Guard Protection: Fitted with durable solar panel mesh to prevent pigeons and wildlife from nesting underneath, keeping the system safe and running at peak efficiency for years to come.

The Result
The result is one of the most robust residential solar and battery installations in Greater Manchester. The homeowner is now exceptionally well-insulated from rising electricity bills and grid instability.

By pairing a high-output array with 18.8kWh of storage, the home can also take full advantage of smart off-peak tariffs—charging the batteries on cheap overnight electricity during winter months when sunlight is lower.
