Solar Panels & Battery Storage Taunton Drive Essex

We were approached by this client based in Taunton Drive, Essex, who was looking to reduce his energy bill by installing solar panels and battery storage. They were using 8,000kW of electricity per year to run their home and hot tub. To meet this energy demand, we designed a PV system capable of generating 10,789kW per year splitting the array so the panels faced south, east and west delivering a steady power supply to the house throughout the day.

We then added a 14.4kW solar storage battery to store the additional energy generated to use in the evening.

What We Installed

Jinko 435w Tiger Neo Solar Panels

For our residential client we used 29 of the Jinko Tiger Neo 435w (JKM435N-54HL4R-B) solar panels, giving a massive 12.615kW of solar power.

The 29 x 435 Jinko panels produce 10,789kWh per year, this system was a great fit for our client as his annual usage is estimated at 8000kWh.

What we love about these panels…

Great power of delivery for their size, a 25 year product warranty along side a 30 year performance warranty! (click here to read about Jinko warranty)

System Performance

Utility savings based on switch from Standard Variable to Octopus Flux

the projected energy cost is calculated by considering a 7.0% increase in energy cost each year, due to trends in the raising cost of energy. This estimate is based on selected preferences, current energy costs and the position and orientation of the roof to calculate the efficiency of the system. Projections are based on estimated usage of 8000 kWh per year, assuming Standard Variable Electricity Tariff.

Electricity tariff rates may change as a result of installing the system. Contact your electricity retailer for further information.

The MCS output (MIS 3002) and self-consumption (MGD 003) calculation methodology was not used in calculating the numbers in the table below. An alternative calculator System Advisor Model 2020.02.29.r2 was used.
