Type of Renewable Heating System Installed: Solar PV
Date of Installation: 12th February 2024
Location: Talog, Carmarthenshire.
In the village of Talog, nestled within the picturesque landscapes of Carmarthenshire, Birds’ Hill Rural Renewables recently completed yet another successful installation of a renewable energy solution. This time, it was a 3.2kW Solax Solar PV array system, seamlessly integrated into a rural property, providing sustainable power generation to complement an existing Air Source Heat Pump (ASHP) installation, marking a significant step towards energy independence and sustainability for the homeowner.
Customer’s Motivation:
The decision to opt for a Solax Solar PV system with an 5.8kW battery stemmed from the customer’s desire to enhance the sustainability of their household. Having previously benefited from Birds’ Hill’s expertise with an ASHP installation in 2022, the customer sought to further reduce their carbon footprint and energy bills by harnessing the power of the sun.
Why Birds’ Hill Rural Renewables?
Having experienced the professionalism and expertise of Birds’ Hill previously, the customer had no hesitation in returning to them for their Solar PV needs. The trust instilled by their previous engagement, coupled with Birds’ Hill’s reputation for quality and reliability, made the decision straightforward.
Benefits of the System:
The integration of Solax Solar PV & 5.8kW battery alongside the existing ASHP system offers multifaceted benefits to the homeowner. Not only does it provide clean, renewable energy, but it also significantly reduces the household’s reliance on conventional electricity sources, thereby helping to mitigate energy costs over the long term.
By including the 5.8kW battery and a ‘Eddi’ Solar Hot Water diverter the cost savings will be maximised as more of the solar energy will be used at night and for free hot water during the summer months.
Installation Process:
The Solax Solar PV panels were expertly installed on the garage roof, maximising sun exposure and minimising visual impact. Our meticulous attention to detail ensured that every aspect of the installation, from unit placement to cabling, was carefully considered, resulting in a seamless and aesthetically pleasing outcome.
Showcasing Expertise:
This project exemplifies Birds’ Hill proficiency in renewable energy solutions. By seamlessly integrating two distinct technologies – ASHP and Solar PV – they demonstrate their ability to tailor comprehensive, sustainable solutions to meet the unique needs of rural homeowners.
Client Feedback:
The client shared great feedback for the installation team of Darren and Lawrence.
“I found both Darren and Lawrence very personable and professional and to be good ambassadors for Birds’ Hill. They are clearly knowledgeable and have been very helpful in dealing with my limited knowledge of this area.”
Darren’s meticulous attention to detail was particularly appreciated by the client:
“Darren ensured that I was happy with the siting of everything from units to cabling etc. He offered additions to the original spec without pressure but with a clear knowledge of this area.”
The client also admired the commitment to delivering impeccable results, even in challenging circumstances:
“The finished product is very neat throughout, which would not have been easy to achieve, given the logistics. I am very pleased with the work completed so far and admire the fact that despite being soaking wet they carried on with the installation.”
