Barrington Solar recently completed a solar installation for a commercial client looking to eliminate the running costs of their farm and home whilst securing their financial future.
The installation consisted of 122 x 460W All Black solar PV panels mounted across two barns and three roofs. These panels were connected to 2 x 25kW three-phase hybrid inverters installed in each barn. All cabling between the property and the barns was buried and ducted, keeping a clean and aesthetic look. An expandable 55.92kW battery storage system was also integrated, enabling the storage of excess solar energy generated during the day for use in the evening. Additionally, the system supports load shifting during winter months by leveraging off-peak tariffs.
This 56.12kWp PV system was carefully positioned to optimise solar generation, with an estimated annual output of nearly 47.3MWh, more than doubling the client’s current energy consumption, providing ample energy for future expansion.
Project impact
This installation is expected to remove the client’s annual bills, generating excess revenue with the Smart Export Guarantee to offset their bills. Correctly managed, the client should draw little to no energy from the grid throughout most of the spring-autumn months, while operating solely from the battery storage throughout the winter months, charged at an off-peak rate.
