The Brief
The owners of The Wimpy wanted to significantly reduce their energy costs and dependence on the grid while future-proofing their property for their business premises. The site included both a main building and open land, providing scope for a mixed installation of solar technologies.
Their goals were:
-
Substantial reduction in annual energy bills.
-
A system designed for high efficiency and reliability.
-
Integration with modern inverter technology for remote monitoring and intelligent optimisation.
Our Solution
To implement a solar solution with low visual impact in accordance with the sensitivity of the adjacent Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Integrated Renewables designed and delivered a 22 kW peak solar generation system. Each panel is fully optimised for maximum efficiency, yield and mitigates against shading
System Design
-
Hybrid Array: A combination of on-roof and ground-mounted solar panels to maximise generation across available roof angles and land orientation.
-
Optimised Layout: Each string was modelled for shading and orientation using PV simulation software to ensure balanced generation throughout the day.
-
High-efficiency Modules: Premium-grade PV panels selected for long lifespan, low degradation, and excellent low-light performance.
Smart Integration
-
Sigenergy Hybrid Inverter intelligently manages production and consumption.
-
Real-time Monitoring: Owners can view live generation, consumption, and savings from the Sigenergy app.
-
Future-Ready Infrastructure: Cabling and inverter capacity allow for later addition of battery storage or EV charging points.
Key Benefits
-
50% Energy Savings: The system has halved the property’s electricity consumption from the grid since commissioning.
-
Optimised Performance: Dynamic inverter control balances load automatically between self-use and export, ensuring maximum return.
-
Sustainable Power: Generates up to 22 kW peak, covering a large share of daily operational demand.
-
Low Visual Impact: Roof-mounted panels blend seamlessly with the existing architecture, while the ground-mounted array is positioned discreetly to preserve site aesthetics.
-
Remote Monitoring & Support: Integrated Renewables provides full remote diagnostics, ensuring long-term performance with minimal on-site visits.
“Its been a massive saving since installed.”
