Project Overview
Spectrum Energy Systems is proud to present this successful solar PV installation for a premium residential property in Sheffield. The client, was undertaking significant renovations and sought to integrate a high-performance solar energy system to support his home’s substantial electricity needs. Given the property’s high consumption—powered by an air source heat pump and multiple smart home technologies—our goal was to design a solar solution that maximized efficiency and cost savings.
System Design & Proposal
After a detailed consultation and site visit, we proposed a 39.5kWp solar PV system, customized to the property’s specific energy requirements. The system consisted of:
- 84 x 470W Aiko Energy Solar Panels – High-efficiency panels ensuring maximum power output.
- SolarEdge 33.3kW Inverter with Power Optimizers – Optimizing energy production and enhancing system performance, particularly for shaded panels.
This configuration was chosen to enhance energy generation, increase self-sufficiency, and minimize electricity costs for the client.
Energy Savings & Benefits
- Annual Energy Generation: 28,451kWh
- Total Energy Coverage: 47% of the property’s total consumption
- Self-Consumption Rate: 60%
- Electricity Bill Reduction: 40%
With this setup, the client benefits from substantial energy savings, making the investment highly cost-effective with an impressive return on investment over the system’s lifespan.
Installation Process
The installation took five days, during which our expert team carried out roofing and electrical works. The solar panels were securely mounted using Esdec on the property’s northwest-facing flat roof, ensuring durability and longevity.
The three-phase SolarEdge inverter was safely installed in the plant room, with power optimizers guaranteeing that any panel issues can be quickly diagnosed and resolved.
Commissioning & Handover
Once the system was fully installed and tested, we provided a comprehensive handover package, including:
- On-site walkthrough to familiarize the client with the system
- Access to the SolarEdge monitoring portal for real-time performance tracking
- Full documentation & certification, including DNO approval, MCS, NICEIC, and building control compliance
Spectrum Energy Systems remains committed to ongoing customer support, ensuring the client can maximize his solar investment for years to come.
This successful project highlights Spectrum Energy Systems’ expertise in delivering high-quality, efficient, and tailored solar PV solutions. By integrating a cutting-edge solar system into his renovated home, the client now enjoys significant energy savings, reduced carbon footprint, and long-term financial benefits.
