  • 35 x JAM 435 watt panels
  • 10kW SolarEdge home hub inverter
  • 9.7 kWh SolarEdge home battery
  • 7.4 kW SolarEdge EV charger
  • SolarEdge Home Backup Interface – home hub inverter
  • Power optimizer for residential installations

Outcomes

  • £3,977 estimated first year savings
  • 452% total return on investment

“A very important part of our new solar & battery system is the ‘power cut ready’ feature which allows us to operate off grid, whereby we can be temporarily disconnected from the grid & survive with our battery providing a temporary power supply.”
