Two 3-Phase Solar Installations on a Shared Field
15kW Solar PV, Hybrid 10kW Inverter &14.2kWh Battery Storage
This unique project involved designing and implementing complete solar installations for two homes on a large shared field. A father and son sought independent energy solutions while maximizing the property’s solar potential. Each installation featured a 15kW solar panel array, a 10kW hybrid inverter, and a 14.2kWh battery storage system. The project required extensive groundwork, including trenching and cable routing, to ensure the systems were connected efficiently and securely.
Key Features of the Installation:
- Separate systems were designed to meet the energy needs of each home, respecting the property layout to ensure optimal functionality and minimal disruption.
- A 3-Phase power supply was implemented to provide reliable energy distribution, ideal for large-scale systems with high energy demands.
- Each home received a 15kW Solar PV array (30 x 500W JA Solar Panels), generating significant energy to promote independence and long-term savings.
- The system included Solis 10kW Hybrid Inverters, managing the energy flow between solar panels, batteries, and the grid for optimal flexibility and efficiency.
- A 14.2kWh PylonForce H2 Battery Storage system was installed, enabling energy storage for nighttime use or during power outages, enhancing overall self-sufficiency.
Challenges and Solutions:
- Groundwork and Trenching: Excavation of trenches across the field was required to connect the installations. Careful planning minimized landscape disruption while ensuring the integrity of the connections.
- Distance Between Homes: The significant distance between the two homes required precise engineering to balance power delivery effectively and minimize energy loss.
- Bespoke Infrastructure: Specialized cabling and protective conduits were installed to safeguard the system from environmental factors and ensure long-term reliability.
