Ground Mounted Solution - Hebden Bridge
Customer Background
The owner of a stunning detached residential property in the picturesque town of Hebden Bridge, West Yorkshire, began exploring renewable energy solutions after carrying out extensive online research into solar power and battery storage.
Looking to reduce reliance on grid electricity and protect against rising energy costs, the homeowner contacted P4 Solar to arrange a no-obligation site survey. Following a detailed consultation and assessment of the property, our team designed a bespoke solar and battery storage solution tailored to the household's energy requirements.
Key Details
The Challenge
With energy prices continuing to rise, the homeowner wanted to take greater control of their electricity costs while reducing their environmental impact.
The property benefited from a large adjoining field, presenting an excellent opportunity for a ground-mounted solar installation. Unlike traditional rooftop systems, ground-mounted solar arrays offer greater flexibility in system design and can be positioned for optimal orientation, spacing and panel angle, maximising energy generation throughout the year.
Ground-mounted systems also provide easier access for maintenance, inspection and cleaning, helping to ensure long-term performance and reliability. The challenge was to design a system that would make the best use of the available land while delivering meaningful energy savings and supporting the homeowner's sustainability goals.
The Solution
Following a comprehensive site survey, P4 Solar designed and installed a bespoke ground-mounted solar PV and battery storage system comprising:
15 x AIKO Neostar 2S460W Solar Panels
Renusol Ground Mounted Tub System
1 x Solax 6 kW IES Hybrid Inverter
2 x Solax 5.12kWh IES Battery Storage Units
The system was carefully configured to maximise solar generation while providing sufficient battery capacity to store excess energy generated during the day for use during evenings and periods of lower solar production.
The Installation
The available land allowed the solar array to be positioned in an optimal location, free from many of the limitations associated with rooftop installations. The ground-mounted system was installed to maximise solar exposure and achieve the highest possible performance throughout the year.
The installation was completed efficiently by the P4 Solar team, with minimal disruption to the homeowner and property.
The Benefits
The completed installation delivers a range of benefits, including:
Reduced reliance on grid electricity
Lower household energy costs
Increased energy independence
Improved utilisation of renewable energy through battery storage
Reduced carbon emissions
Easier access for future maintenance and servicing
Long-term protection against rising energy prices
The Outcome
The homeowner now benefits from a modern renewable energy system that generates clean electricity on-site while storing surplus energy for use when it is needed most. The combination of solar PV and battery storage provides greater control over household energy consumption and helps reduce exposure to future fluctuations in electricity prices.
By making use of the property's available land, the homeowner has been able to maximise renewable energy generation without impacting the aesthetics of the main residence. The installation provides a sustainable, long-term energy solution that supports both financial savings and environmental responsibility.
This project demonstrates how ground-mounted solar can be an excellent option for homeowners with available land who are looking to maximise energy generation, increase energy independence and future-proof their property.
Customer comments
“Peter and team have been super helpful and committed to having a happy customer from start to finish. From taking the time to explain the rationale for their system design, to being patient as we slogged through the planning process, to ensuring the system got installed to our satisfaction, they've been a great company to work with. Peter and team do things properly - they know their stuff, they take care and pride in the work and they trade on their reputation - particularly refreshing in an industry which has more than its fair share of, shall we say, less reputable installers. Highly recommended.”
