Solar Panel and Battery Installation in Saundersfoot

Smart Energy Homes recently completed a solar panel and battery storage installation at a property in Saundersfoot, Pembrokeshire, helping the homeowner reduce energy bills while preparing for the switch to electric vehicle ownership.

Having already spoken to several renewable energy providers, the customer was looking for a system that would deliver meaningful savings on electricity costs while future-proofing the property against rising energy prices. With an electric vehicle on order and a clear desire to maximise self-generated electricity, solar PV and battery storage were identified as the ideal solution.

Following a detailed survey and consultation, our team designed a tailored renewable energy system combining high-efficiency solar panels with battery storage, helping the homeowner generate and store more of their own electricity.

Understanding the Property

The property is a four-bedroom semi-detached home in Saundersfoot, Pembrokeshire. Built between 1940 and 1969, the property benefits from a south-west facing roof elevation, providing excellent conditions for solar energy generation.

The homeownerโ€™s primary objective was reducing household energy costs. With annual electricity consumption of approximately 5,117kWh and combined gas and electricity bills of around ยฃ220 per month, they wanted a renewable energy solution that would deliver long-term savings while preparing for increased electricity demand from an upcoming electric vehicle.

The property already featured solar thermal technology, demonstrating the homeownerโ€™s existing commitment to renewable energy.

Why Battery Storage Was Important

Battery storage formed a key part of the homeownerโ€™s requirements from the outset.

With an electric vehicle on the way, the customer wanted to make the most of every unit of electricity generated by the solar panels. Rather than exporting excess power back to the grid, the battery stores surplus energy for use during the evening, helping to reduce electricity imports and lower running costs.

Benefits of battery storage include:

  • Lower electricity bills
  • Increased self-consumption of solar energy
  • Reduced reliance on grid electricity
  • Protection against rising energy prices
  • Greater energy independence
  • Improved return on solar investment
  • Additional flexibility for EV charging

For households planning to switch to electric vehicles, battery storage can play an important role in helping to offset future charging costs

Preparing for Electric Vehicle Ownership

One of the most interesting aspects of this project was the customerโ€™s forward-thinking approach.

Although their electric vehicle had not yet arrived, they recognised the importance of preparing their home energy infrastructure in advance. During discussions, the homeowner also expressed an interest in EV charging, ensuring the property will be ready to support electric driving while making the most of self-generated solar electricity.

By combining solar panels, battery storage and future EV charging capability, the homeowner has created a renewable energy ecosystem designed to deliver savings for many years to come.
