A family semi in Bristol

Sarah and James use most of their power between 5 and 9pm, when the kids are home and the oven is on. Panels alone would have exported most of their lunchtime sun at 15p a unit, so the battery was the deciding factor.

What we fitted

Ten 445 W all-black panels across the south-west roof, a hybrid inverter in the loft and a 5 kWh battery in the garage. Scaffolding went up on a Monday and the system was live by Wednesday afternoon.

Year one

The roof made 4,180 kWh in its first twelve months. The family now imports less than a third of what they used to, and their summer bills are mostly standing charge.
