The Yeowell’s Solar Installation in Rugby
The Yeowells had a Solar Installation in Rugby back in 2022. Although their initial inquiry came into the team at the end of 2021. The family wanted to know a little bit about the capabilities of different Solar and Battery Systems.
When we work with a customer regardless of whether it’s an installation of Solar Panels in Rugby, Worcester, Leamington Spa or anywhere else in our service area the driving force for the family’s decision is usually one of the following:
- To maximize self-consumption and reduce grid reliance
- To reduce their energy bills and help with charging their electric vehicle
- Or to live a greener, more environmentally friendly life.
For the Yeowell family, they were keen to maximise their self-consumption and reduce their reliance on the grid.
What components were in this Solar Installation in Rugby?
For this family we initially offered, and installed the following Solar System:
-1 Tesla Powerwall 2
-Eddi Immersion Controller
-Zappi EV Charge
Even by our own standards this was quite a large system for the detached family home. We also included a bird guard with this system – which is always at the discretion of the owner of the home. However, there never really is a downside to having a bird guard.
What were the results of this installation?
This installation was a great success, and the family was really happy with the installation. So far in 2024 the system has generated 4910kWh. This system has generated so much energy that the family returned to Stratford Energy this summer.
Mr Yeowell had asked our installation team to return to his property and install a second Tesla Powerwall. The original installation in Rugby, only included 1 Powerwall, but because the family has started to change their energy habits, they are now generating more energy than they can use. This is where the need for the second Powerwall comes in. This means the family now has more capacity to store energy for when they need it. In addition, this means that they also have more ‘reserve’ energy which they can use in the event of a power cut.
