Project Overview
Redhill Services installed a 9.27kWp solar PV system with 15kWh of EcoFlow battery storage for a residential property with delicate clay roof tiles.
The project combined 18 solar panels with a stackable inverter and battery system, providing renewable electricity and storage for later use.
Challenges
- The delicate clay roof tiles meant that installing the panels would pose a risk of breakage, meaning careful installation was required.
- Clear access across the roof was needed for the installation team to safely fit the mounting system and panels.
- Finding a suitable position for the battery equipment outside the home.
- Combining solar generation with intelligent battery charging and energy management.
Our Solution
- Careful Roof Access: Our team selectively removed tiles to create a walkway across the roof, reducing the need to step directly on the fragile tiles throughout installation.
- 9.27kWp Solar Array: We fitted 18 × 515W solar panels, arranging them around the available roof space and existing features.
- 15kWh Battery Storage: We also installed an EcoFlow stackable inverter and battery system on the outside of an outbuilding, allowing energy to be stored for use around the home.
- Sheltered Equipment Position: The installation included a canopy above the battery equipment, with isolator switches positioned alongside it.
- Intelligent Energy Management: The EcoFlow system offers AI-assisted charging optimisation and a 15-year manufacturer’s warranty, subject to its warranty terms.
Outcome
The homeowner now has over 9kWp of solar generation capacity alongside 15kWh of battery storage, allowing electricity generated during the day to be retained for later use.
Careful roof access and installation methods helped accommodate the delicate clay tiles, while the external battery position kept the equipment outside the living space.
Intelligent charging features give the homeowner further flexibility in managing household energy use.
