With limited roof space for solar panel installation, Solgrid employed an innovative solution to incorporate solar energy: a low-profile, ground-mounted solar panel system provided the perfect solution.
The Challenge
The primary challenge was the lack of suitable roof space for a traditional solar panel setup. Additionally, the system needed to integrate seamlessly with the property’s electricity demand, ensuring maximum savings and minimal reliance on the grid.
The Solution
Solgrid
installed a 6 kWp Solar PV system on a
Renusol CS+ tub ground-mounting
system, designed to optimize energy capture. The system includes 15
Q-Cell panels, a Huawei 5kW inverter, and a 5 kWh battery for energy
storage.
This setup ensures efficient energy generation and use, with
excess energy stored for later use.
Key Benefits
- Electricity Bill Savings:
The system provides annual energy savings of over 50%, contributing
to significant long-term reductions in electricity costs.
- Energy Self-sufficiency: homeowner now achieves 58.6% energy self-sufficiency, reducing reliance
on grid power.
- Environmental Impact: The system avoids 2,382 kg of CO₂ emissions annually, supporting a more sustainable lifestyle.
Conclusion
This
ground-mounted Solar PV system demonstrates how creative solutions
can bring renewable energy to homes with limited roof space.
With an
SEAI grant of €2,100 offsetting costs, homeowner system offers a
strong return on investment and aligns with his sustainability goals.
