In their own words
“He could have upsold us … he recommended that we actually drop the battery size.”
Simon talks through choosing a local installer, the battery size Gerome recommended, power-cut backup and daily use.
The Challenge
Power-cut backup was Simon's one must-have. He also wanted a local installer who would still be around next month and next year, after hearing neighbours' stories of firms from up-country disappearing when something went wrong.
Our Solution
We fitted 20 Aiko panels across the south, east and west roofs (12 on the front and four on each side) with a Fox ESS PQ1 8 kW all-in-one, three EQ5000 battery modules (14 kWh usable) and a backup gateway, so the house keeps power in a cut.
The Outcome
The panels start producing as soon as the sun comes up and pick up the last of the sun on the western roof. Simon says the family's bills went from hundreds to under a hundred, and the laundry for their holiday-let changeovers now runs in the day on solar.
System Installed
20 × Aiko 480 W panels (9.6 kWp), Fox ESS PQ1 8 kW all-in-one hybrid inverter, 3 × Fox ESS EQ5000 batteries (14 kWh usable), backup gateway
