We designed this system for the Yates family home in Lymm, Cheshire; the family wanted to generate as much power as possible and wanted to generate about 50% of their household requirements.

The building has an almost perfect south facing aspect and was tied-in with a loft conversion and new roof, so the integrity of the site could not have been better; the only consideration was roof shape, as there is a pike on the left of centre running two thirds of the way up the roof.

Because of this we had to choose our PV panels carefully and opted for Sanyo HIT240HDE4 panels, as they offer a compact size panel whilst offering exceptional power and efficiency.

The final system design was a 2.4 kWp system using 10 x Sanyo panels and Fronius inverter.

System Size 2.4 kWp
