Solar Installation in Applecross: Overcoming Space Constraints for Maximum Savings
Challenges/Issues:
- Limited Roof Space: The multi-storey property had minimal available roof area with varying orientations.
- Aesthetic Requirements: Panels needed to be discreet and not visible from the roadside.
- System Upgrade Needs: The client wanted to expand their existing 3kW single-phase system to improve efficiency and production.
Solutions Provided:
- System Integration: Installed a new 5kW three-phase system integrated with the existing system using the SMA Home Manager for seamless operation.
- Shading Optimisation: Added 6 TIGO optimisers to overcome shading issues and maximise energy production from the limited roof space.
Results:
- Annual Output: 8,123 kWh of renewable energy.
- Energy Offset: Achieved a 22% energy offset.
- Monthly Savings: Approximately $207.86 saved on energy bills.
