Customer Challenge
Having installed solar panels around two years earlier, this homeowner had already seen a noticeable reduction in their electricity bills and was pleased with the performance of their existing solar PV system.
With retirement approaching, this customer knew she would soon be spending much more time at home, increasing her daytime and evening electricity consumption. Rather than exporting surplus solar energy to the grid, she wanted to store it for later use, making even greater use of the renewable electricity their system was already generating.
The customer was looking for a future proof battery storage solution that would improve self-consumption, reduce reliance on the grid and continue delivering savings throughout retirement.
GLANtech Solar Solution
Following an in depth consultation, we recommended upgrading the existing solar PV system with the Sigenergy SigenStor 10.0 battery system, complete with a 5kW hybrid inverter.
This intelligent energy storage solution automatically captures excess solar generation during the day and stores it for use later in the evening, helping the homeowner make the most of every unit of electricity produced.
In addition to increasing self-consumption, the hybrid inverter also gives the customer the flexibility to charge the battery using cheaper off-peak electricity tariffs during periods of lower solar generation, further reducing running costs throughout the year.
As a local installer, GLANtech Solar provided expert advice, a tailored system design and a professional installation, ensuring the battery upgrade integrated seamlessly with the customer’s existing solar array.
The Outcome
The addition of battery storage has transformed the way this home uses renewable energy.
Instead of exporting surplus electricity during the day and purchasing it back from the grid in the evening, the customer can now store their own solar energy and use it when demand is highest. This provides greater energy independence and helps maximise the return on their original solar investment.
With retirement on the horizon, the homeowner now has the reassurance of lower ongoing electricity costs and a system that’s ready to support increased energy usage for years to come.
Following completion, customer M. Anderson left GLANtech Solar a 5 stars google review Google Review, praising the quality of the installation and the excellent service provided throughout the project.
