Solar Panel and Battery Installation in Monmouthshire

Smart Energy Homes recently completed a solar panel and battery storage installation at a property in Llandenny, Monmouthshire, helping the homeowner take greater control of their energy usage and reduce reliance on electricity imported from the grid.

The customer was particularly interested in reducing exposure to peak electricity tariffs and wanted to explore how solar generation and battery storage could work together to improve household efficiency. Following a detailed survey and consultation, our team designed a renewable energy system capable of generating significant amounts of electricity while storing surplus energy for use when it was needed most.

Understanding the Property

The homeowner was looking for a renewable energy solution that would help lower long-term energy costs and provide greater independence from fluctuating electricity prices.

Battery storage was a key priority from the outset, with the customer particularly interested in avoiding expensive peak-rate electricity charges and making better use of self-generated power throughout the day and evening.

Property Overview

  • Location: Llandenny, Monmouthshire
  • System Type: Solar PV & Battery Storage
  • Existing Solar System: None
  • Battery Storage Required: Yes
  • Install Duration: 3 Days
  • Customer Goal: Increase energy independence and reduce electricity costs

The Recommended Solution

Following our survey, Smart Energy Homes recommended a high-capacity solar and battery storage system designed to maximise renewable energy generation and storage.

Solar PV System

  • 24 x DMEGC 465W Solar Panels
  • System Size: 11.16kW
  • Roof Mounted Installation

Inverter

  • FoxESS Hybrid Inverter
  • Inverter Size: 7kW

Battery Storage

  • Battery 1: FoxESS EP12 – 11.52kWh
  • Battery 2: FoxESS EP12 – 11.52kWh
  • Total Battery Capacity: 23.04kWh

The combination of a large solar array and substantial battery storage provides the homeowner with the ability to generate, store and use more of their own electricity, reducing the need to purchase energy from the grid.

Why Battery Storage Was Important

The homeowner’s primary motivation was reducing the impact of peak electricity rates.

By storing excess solar energy generated during the day, the battery system allows electricity to be used when household demand is highest, rather than importing power during more expensive tariff periods.

Benefits include:

  • Lower electricity bills
  • Reduced reliance on grid electricity
  • Greater energy independence
  • Improved use of solar generation
  • Protection from rising energy costs
  • Reduced carbon emissions

With over 23kWh of battery storage capacity, this system provides significant energy flexibility and helps maximise the value of every unit of electricity generated.

Proses Gosod

The Smart Energy Homes team completed the installation over three days.

The project included:

Installation of 24 solar panels
Installation of the FoxESS hybrid inverter
Installation of two FoxESS battery storage units
Electrical testing and certification
System commissioning
Customer handover and training

Once complete, the system was carefully configured and tested to ensure optimal performance and reliability.

Maximising Renewable Energy Generation

One of the standout features of this project is the size of the solar array and battery storage system.

The 11.16kW solar PV system gives the homeowner the ability to generate substantial amounts of renewable electricity throughout the year, while the twin battery system provides storage capacity to help maximise self-consumption and minimise grid reliance.

Together, these technologies create a powerful renewable energy solution designed to deliver long-term savings and improved energy resilience
