Project Overview
This residential solar installation in Newbury was designed to
significantly reduce the homeowner’s reliance on grid electricity while maximizing on-site
renewable energy generation and storage. The system combines high-efficiency solar
panels with advanced inverter and battery technology to deliver both performance and
System Specification
• Solar Panels: 40 × AIKO 455W panels (Total: 18.2 kWp)
• Inverter: Solis 6kW hybrid inverter
Design & Installation
The property offered a suitable roof orientation and space to accommodate a large-scale
residential array. The system was carefully designed to optimise solar yield throughout the
The 40 AIKO panels were selected for their high efficiency and strong performance in
varying light conditions, ensuring consistent generation even during overcast UK weather.
The array was configured to balance output across the inverter while maintaining system
The Solis 6kW inverter was chosen for its reliability and compatibility with battery storage,
enabling seamless energy conversion and system management.
A key feature of this installation is the GivEnergy All-in-One 13.5 kWh battery, which
allows the homeowner to store excess solar energy generated during the day for use in
This significantly increases self-consumption and reduces exposure to rising electricity
costs. The system also provides backup capability and smart energy management
Performance & Benefits
• Annual Generation (Estimated): ~15,500–17,000 kWh
• Self-Consumption: Significantly increased through battery storage
• CO₂ Savings: Approx. 3–4 tonnes per year
• Energy Independence: Reduced reliance on grid electricity
The large system size ensures that the household can meet a substantial portion of its
annual energy demand, with surplus energy stored or exported to the grid where
Customer Outcome
The homeowner now benefits from:
• Lower electricity bills
• Greater control over energy usage
• Protection against future energy price increases
Conclusion
This installation demonstrates how combining a high-capacity solar array with modern
battery storage can transform a home’s energy profile. By integrating premium
components and intelligent system design, the project delivers both immediate savings
and long-term sustainability.
