For this retired couple, wanting to be more sustainable is about several important things: caring for the environment, saving money, and connecting with their community. By working to reduce their carbon footprint, they can lower their energy bills and make a positive impact on the world. This way, they enjoy a better quality of life now and help create a healthier planet for their children and grandchildren.

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 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 Home Battery: The installation includes a 10kWh SolarEdge Home 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.

Myenergi Zappi & Eddi: The Zappi and Eddi work together to use surplus energy generated by solar panels efficiently. The Zappi smart EV charger detects when excess solar power is available and diverts it to charge your electric vehicle. The Eddi diverts surplus power to heat water or power other loads like underfloor heating, which prevents wasting self-generated power by exporting it back to the grid.

Optimised Energy Production: The combination of Longi panels and SolarEdge power optimisers ensures each panel operates at its maximum potential, increasing overall system yield.

Smart Energy Management: The SolarEdge inverter and battery work together to optimise energy usage. Excess solar energy is stored in the battery during peak demand periods or when sunlight is unavailable.

Monitoring and Control: The SolarEdge monitoring platform allows homeowners to track system performance, energy production, consumption, and storage in real time through a user-friendly app.

Scalability: The SolarEdge system is designed for easy expansion, allowing homeowners to add more panels or increase battery capacity in the future if needed. This solar PV installation represents a comprehensive and forward-thinking approach to residential solar energy, offering high performance, energy independence, and smart home integration.
