We recently enjoyed working with the Twohey family, who own a beautiful detached property in Northampton.
As part of their home improvement project, we had the opportunity to assist with solar panel installation in Northampton, bringing sustainable energy solutions to their stunning detached home.
They contacted us directly after deciding to proceed with a solar and battery installation, a solution they had been considering for a long time.
Living in an area prone to frequent short power outages, the Twohey family wanted a system that could not only cover their electricity needs but also provide reliable backup capability for complete peace of mind.
After a detailed property and energy assessment, we designed and installed a customised solar energy system, which included:
- SunPower Performance 6 405w Solar Panels (the highest-performing domestic panel available at the time)
- SolarEdge Optimised Inverter for maximum energy production
- Tesla Powerwall 2 for reliable energy storage and backup power
Given the property’s relatively low annual energy consumption, we recommended installing the panels solely on the large southeast-facing main roof, ensuring optimum generation without unnecessary oversizing.
The installation process, from initial quote to commissioning, took just two months — an impressive turnaround of five and a half weeks!
Our expert team—Linton, Matt, Steve, Jamie, Darren, and Jake worked to deliver a high-quality, future-proof system designed specifically for the family’s needs.
Outstanding Results for the Twohey Family
Since going live, the system has generated over 4,500 kWh of clean, renewable energy. For many months, the solar system entirely covered the Twohey family’s electricity consumption, significantly reducing their reliance on the grid.
With the Tesla Powerwall’s storage capabilities, over 2,000 kWh of excess solar energy has been successfully discharged back into the home, ensuring maximum self-consumption.
The Powerwall provided seamless power during three hours of grid outages, ensuring true energy security for the home.
Why Invest in Solar Panels in Northampton?
When the Twohey family approached us for their solar panel installation in Northampton, their goal was crystal clear:
They wanted a solution that would maximise self-generated energy, ensure backup protection, and reduce their long-term energy costs.
They future-proofed their home with SunPower panels, a SolarEdge inverter, and Tesla Powerwall, enjoying lower bills and energy security.
