For this homeowner in Leeming, North Yorkshire, situated near the RAF base, the goal was to create a consistent supply of solar energy throughout the entire day. Rather than generating a single power peak at noon, they wanted a system that matched their family's energy consumption from breakfast until evening. This required a smart and increasingly popular design known as an East/West split.

The Think Free Solar team provided an expert solar panel installation featuring 14 panels, with 7 positioned on the east-facing roof and 7 on the west-facing roof. This clever configuration offers a significant advantage:

Morning Power: The east-facing panels begin generating substantial power as the sun rises, perfectly timed to cover the morning energy rush for kettles, toasters, and getting the house running.

Afternoon & Evening Power: As the sun moves across the sky, the west-facing panels take over, producing a surge of energy throughout the late afternoon and into the evening – precisely when household demand is highest for cooking, lighting, and entertainment.

This East/West system creates a broader, more stable "shoulder" of energy generation, allowing the homeowner to use their own free solar power for more of the day. The system is managed by high-quality Hanchu equipment, including a hybrid inverter and battery storage, ensuring none of the generated energy goes to waste.

The result is a highly efficient solar panel and battery system in North Yorkshire that maximises self-consumption and provides consistent, reliable power. If you're looking for a solar panel installer in the Leeming or Northallerton area who can design a system that perfectly matches your lifestyle, this project is a brilliant example of our tailored approach.
