BRIEF

This property had an eight meter by four meter, unemcumbered south west/south east pitched roof. the property had no planning issues, little to no shading on the roof and a Southerly facing pitch. It was therefore appropriate for Stove Shop Renewables to install a roof mounted array.

PROCESS

Renewables at Stove Shop installed 15 MCS accredited polycrystalline photovoltaic panels, made by Renesola. The installation consisted of two strings, with the Fronius 3.6 IG TL inverter installed in the loft area. Renewables at Stove Shop then ran 4mm DC cable from the panels to the inverter, from which the AC supply then ran to the existing consumer unit. Stove Shop also installed a feed in tariff meter to calculate annual production.

OUTCOME

At the time of installation (December 2011), it was predicted that this installation had an estimated output of 3.6kW.

Per annum, this installation is predicted to produce £1,600 in Feed in Tariff payments, £240 per annum saving on electricity bill and £60 export tariff per annum. The total annual saving/earning on this installation  is £1900.
