Project Overview

George from Luton, Bedfordshire, wanted to cut his energy bills and reduce his environmental impact. Chiltern Solar delivered a high-performance 8.01kWp solar panel system paired with a GivEnergy battery, offering energy independence and significant savings.

Installation Timeline

We pride ourselves on delivering seamless installations. Here’s how George’s project unfolded:

  • Quotation Issued: 8th August 2024

  • Survey Booked: 27th August 2024

  • Order Received: 29th August 2024

  • DNO Permission Received: 5th September 2024

  • Scaffolding Erected: 30th September 2024

  • Installation Completed: 3rd October 2024

The Installation Process

On 3rd October, Chiltern Solar’s team installed 18 Trina 445W solar panels on George’s roof. These panels, known for their efficiency and sleek design, were mounted by our expert roofers Luke Crimmins, Eddie Friel, Joe Freeman, and Oscar Lenane.

Electrician Matthew Willan connected the panels to a GivEnergy 5kW hybrid inverter, which ensures optimal energy conversion and usage. The system was complemented by a GivEnergy Gen2 9.5kWh battery, allowing George to store excess energy for later use, especially during the evenings or on cloudy days. Operations Manager Richard Stevens oversaw the process, ensuring a smooth and efficient installation.

Why Choose Solar?

George’s solar system generates an impressive 6098kWh annually, reducing his reliance on the National Grid by 73%. Additionally, the battery ensures that surplus energy is never wasted, providing flexibility and long-term savings.

Results and Benefits

With a forecasted return on investment in just 8 years, George’s solar system is set to deliver both financial and environmental benefits. The system reduces carbon emissions by 1295kg annually, helping George contribute to a greener future while enjoying substantial energy savings.
