The Bushill-Matthews Family’s Solar Panels in Leamington Spa

A RESIDENTIAL CASE STUDY

Are you considering an install of Solar Panels in Leamington? The Bushill-Matthews Family, based in a semi-detached property in Leamington Spa, approached our expert team at Stratford Energy Solutions to reduce their high energy consumption and offset electricity costs. Aware of the benefits of solar energy, they were eager to invest in a system offering long-term savings and improved energy efficiency.

Why They Chose To Work With Stratford Energy Solutions

The family was referred to Stratford Energy Solutions by another happy customer, the Poulter Family (Project J2420), whose installation, as a result, delivered excellent results. Impressed by Stratford’s reputation for quality and innovation, they confidently chose the company for their solar installation.

The Solar Panel Installation in Leamington Spa

In July 2022, Stratford Energy Solutions installed a bespoke solar energy system tailored to the Bushill-Matthews family’s needs. This included:

12 SunPower Maxeon 430W Panels for efficient energy generation.
A SolarEdge Optimised Inverter System to maximize energy output.
A Tesla Powerwall 2 Battery for storage and backup power.
An Eddi Immersion Diverter to optimise self-consumption.

The installation was completed in just four months by Stratford’s experienced team: Luke, Will, Mark, and Tim.

The Results

Three years post-installation, the system continues to deliver exceptional results:

Covers over 75% of the family’s energy usage
Off-peak charging with the Tesla Powerwall, therefore, further reduces peak-time consumption costs.
As a result, there is a significant reduction in reliance on the grid, along with reliable backup power during outages.

The Bushill-Matthews Family commended on our expertise and seamless installation process. They appreciated the team’s ability to design a system perfectly aligned with their energy needs and long-term goals.

Stratford Energy have been absolutely fantastic in all areas with our new extension. With it all being new it was required to be done in stages where I was kept updated throughout, always prompt arrival with polite friendly employees. The office girls (Georgia and Jess) are brilliant, always friendly and happy to assist and the team carrying out the work were great too 🙏🏽 cannot recommend them enough 5* service throughout

2nd time using Stratford Energy. Amazing service from the very first interaction. The two guys who installed my new charger were fun, very knowledgeable and professional. They left my house in perfect condition and I couldn't be happier with the quality of the work. Will definitely use again.

I reached out to Stratford Energy Solutions after doing my own research into the best solar panels to buy and they were one of the nearest installers. From the very start of dealing with Georgia and quotation and her clear guidance around my requirements and options to Charlie doing the survey and Jess with the administration I have to say they were all first class.There was no hard sell at any point and their communication was always very timely and clear. and right up to and after the fitting date I was kept up to date with the schedule.The fitters were very neat and tidy (pictures included) and very professional.I would not hesitate to recommend the Stratford team to anybody considering installing solar and battery in the future.If only all trades people could be so professional.

Professional, fantastic communication and brilliant quote. The work carried out by SES has been brilliant, a really tidy neat job, we had been looking at SES for years prior and when the time came to install our Solar system we received quotes from multiple companies but the quality of product and quote set SES apart for what they were offering. The work involved in running several quotes adjusted to the many questions I had and then the follow up as we waited for the PW3 to come available was top notch.We would highly recommend SES.

One year on we are very pleased with our Solar & Powerwall system. The whole thing sits there quietly and unobtrusively doing just what it is supposed to – During 2024 we have been 79% solar powered and have sent 1.12 Mwh to the grid. In 2023 we were 57% solar but as the install was mid-August this seems quite acceptable given that we were into the winter period quite soon after.We have not changed our routine much – where possible I do now put the dishwasher and washing machine on during the day when the panels are generating but we have continued to use the oven as necessary in the evenings.Obviously, our energy bills have dropped significantly! The Apps have been really useful for monitoring battery charge etc and just for being able to show off!! (I always recommend Stratford Energy as we were very impressed with the whole process) It has also helped that I have been able to demonstrate to Chris (who you may recall was less devoted to the idea of solar than me) how beneficial the system is.Since installing the solar system, we have also been motivated to upgrade a couple of radiators and put internal wall insulation onto the wall in our back family room that is always difficult to keep warm. So, it has been a major first step in improving our green credentials and helping future proof the house!

I had issues with my Zappi home charger earlier this year. I tried contacting MyEnergi directly but wasn't getting anywhere fast. I contacted Stratford Energy Solutions who had installed it. Lisa was fantastic she made contact with MyEnergi on my behalf and kept me up to date as to the progress of my issue. She really went the extra mile when often people don't. The issue has been resolved and the Zappi was replaced under warranty. Stratford Energy came out to fit the new one. Thank you so much.

We were their 15th customer when Stratford Energy set up. We were so pleased with the service we have not considered another firm. First with solar panels in 2011, then a Tesla Powerwall, then a car charger and last month a second Tesla Powerwall. You receive good and accurate advice with options to consider. The fitting is undertaken by knowledgeable, professional and pleasant staff; always a neat job and they clear up afterwards. Support is excellent even after fitting from the office to the owners. We recommend them without hesitation.

Stratford energy solutions provided an excellent service for us, the process from start to finish was straight forward, simple and efficient.We had previously investigated getting solar and battery storage from another supplier, but they messed us about and had made lots of excuses about the potential install. Dealing with Stratford energy solutions was the opposite; open, transparent, courteous and above all professional.The install was carried out quickly and cleanly and neatly and the system is working exactly as expected.I highly recommend Stratford Energy Solutions.

Having recently had solar panels and a storage battery installed by Stratford Energy Solutions I’d strongly recommend this company to you.I started considering a solar system some months ago and having spoken to friends who already had one I shortlisted 2 companies to get quotes from, one being Stratford Energy Solutions. From the beginning of the process the people I spoke to were helpful and informative and it became clear to me they were more knowledgeable than the other company I was considering. A particular shout out in this regard to Georgia Howson, the Operations Manager.Having decided to go ahead with them they pulled out the all the stops to get the system in by the end of the year so I could benefit from a deal that was on offer from the battery supplier. They organised the scaffolding company (who were great BTW) and then their installation team of 4 arrived the day after to complete the work. Without exception all of the installers were polite, hard-working and clearly knew what they had to do, which the did very professionally. Having successfully completed the job by 4pm they left everything neat and tidy, with the scaffolders returning two days later to remove their three scaffold installations.Without doubt the whole experience was stress-free and at all times Stratford Energy Solutions did what they said they’d do.Yours truly…one very happy customer.

Excellent service throughout, helpful and friendly, no hard sell. Installation day was amazing, work completed in less than 6 hours, the team were all polite and respectful, high standard of workmanship, neat and tidy. The system seems to be working well so far; I'm looking forward to longer and sunnier days.Scaffolding company used were also efficient and polite; erected the afternoon before installation and removed 2 days later.

I would highly recommend Stratford Energy Solutions!From start to finish. The communication, organisation and information/advice from the office/clerical team was excellent.The installation team were exemplary, they turned up at the time stated, they were polite, tidy and respectful of the property. They were all great ambassadors for the company.The wiring is neat, tidy and largely invisible, the panels are perfectly symmetrical and everything is level. The whole installation looks better than I could have wished for.

We found Stratford Energy Solutions Ltd really easy to work with throughout the whole process of quotation, preparation for installation and installation and post installation. The staff installing on the day were quick and professional and polite. They responded quickly to emails and phone calls and kept us up to date. The system has been installed for two months now and is performing really well. There was no messing about in the initial quotation phase but they were open to some negotiation. The other national companies we dealt with tried the hard sell approach but we didn't get that with Stratford Energy Solutions. Ultimately, we feel we got a better quality system than offered by the other national companies and although more expensive it was competitively priced.
