Overview
We loved hearing from Tom, Operations Manager at Grange Shipping Ltd, about their experience with their new commercial solar ecosystem in Felixstowe. Tom shared valuable insights into the decision-making process behind adopting the system, how it was tailored to meet their business needs, and what it was like working with Insight Energy as their trusted installer.
Using innovative technology from industry leaders like SolarEdge Technologies, NexBlue, and Wevo Energy, we are able to design bespoke systems that deliver immediate benefits for today, whilst preparing businesses for a sustainable and future-proofed tomorrow.

System Components
Longi Solar Panels: The installation uses premium Longi solar panels, known for their excellent efficiency and sleek aesthetics.
SolarEdge Power Optimizers: Each panel is equipped with a SolarEdge power optimiser, which enables individual panel monitoring and performance optimisation. This technology mitigates the effects of partial shading and ensures maximum energy harvest from each panel.
SolarEdge Synergy Inverter: The system features a SolarEdge inverter, which works with power optimisers to convert DC electricity from the panels into AC power for home use. This inverter is designed for seamless integration with the SolarEdge ecosystem, including the battery storage system.
SolarEdge Battery: The installation includes a 27.4kWh SolarEdge Battery, which provides significant energy storage capacity. This DC-coupled battery system allows efficient energy storage and utilisation, minimising conversion losses.
Doncaster PV Ultra Cabling: PV-Ultra cables are engineered explicitly for DC installations in photovoltaic systems. Designed with high-quality materials for an anticipated lifespan of about 25 years and can operate at average maximum conductor temperatures of 90°C, with short-term tolerance up to 120°C.
NexBlue: The NexBlue chargers offers a combination of elegant design, robust construction, and intelligent features that make it an appealing option for those wanting a high-end EV charging solution.
Wevo Energy Management: Wevo offers an AI powered solution to ensure efficient energy management between the building and Solar PV, which helps maximise all surplus energy and reduces the peak demand.
