Installing Solar Power to protect against energy costs

InstaGroup had the pleasure of installing Solar PV for a home in Hurst, Berkshire.

In November 2022, InstaGroup was asked to install Solar Power for a detached house in Hurst, Berkshire. Mrs C said, “It just seemed like a really sensible thing to do with the cost of energy at the moment. Our roof is also perfectly south facing, so we hoped that we’d be able to generate enough to fill up solar batteries as much as possible, and save money on our electricity bills.”

 

A design to generate maximum energy

Our experienced surveyor visited the house to make a detailed report on everything from the roof structure to calculating the ‘sunpath’ over the house.

InstaGroup’s attention to detail ensures the customer will get the best results from their solar array over the next 25 years, paying back their upfront investment several times over.

 

Solar battery for storage

Our customer also decided on the installation of a solar battery with their Solar PV. Solar batteries charge up during the day when there is a lot of sunlight, and store any unused solar energy. This is then ready to use when needed overnight, or when extra power is needed in the home.

 

Caring for your home

InstaGroup make careful calculations when designing a solar array to protect the roof and timbers of the house from an increase in the loading weight.

We also carry out wind testing to make sure the wind force around the home will not affect the Solar PV fixings on the roof.

 

Working on a tricky roof

The job was well-planned and sequenced to bring all the services together at the right time to provide a visually attractive system linked with battery storage. The installation, including connection, took just two days.

For this particular solar project InstaGroup teamed up with DG Electrics and used Midsomer components. Together we successfully installed a 10 panel system and 10kWh battery storage system with a Huawei 3.6kW L1 HV 1ph Hybrid inverter.

The roof proved to be particularly tricky at installation due to the condition of the tiles, but our expert installers were able to overcome the issues. There was also a minor delay caused by product dispatch and delivery, but we kept the customer informed at all times.

 

Making sure our customers are happy

We contacted the customer after the installation to check they were happy with the installation and the results.

Mrs C said, “Yes, we’re very happy. The upfront quote was clear and easy to understand, so we knew what we’d be paying for. And when we had any questions about installing Solar Power they were answered very quickly.”

InstaGroup is proud to offer a professional solar installation and to give great customer service. We’re pleased to have provided a system that will benefit Mrs C in Berkshire for years to come*. 

 

Enjoying the benefits of Solar Power

The customer is now saving money on their electricity bill, with the benefit of using a clean, renewable source of energy that’s good for our planet. 

If you’re interested in Solar Power, get in touch with InstaGroup to see if your home is suitable for installation. Or call our friendly team on 0800 526 023.
