Case Study: Transforming Energy Efficiency in CF31

At Quantum Renewables, we’re always thrilled to see the transformative impact of solar energy on households, and this project in CF31 is no exception! This home has embraced the power of renewable energy by installing 12 DMEG 450-watt bifacial panels paired with 2 x 5.12kWh GivEnergy batteries. Let’s dive into the details of this incredible energy makeover.

Project Overview
Location: CF31
Roof Specs: 35-degree pitched roof, 40 degrees off south—ideal for capturing sunlight!
Energy Usage:
Household consumption: 6,148 kWh/year
Electric vehicle charging: 2,000 kWh/year
Current Monthly Bill: £110 (excluding EV charging)
The Solution
With a system designed to maximize energy efficiency, the installation of 12 bifacial solar panels and 2 x 5.12kWh GivEnergy batteries is set to significantly cut down on energy costs. These panels, known for their enhanced ability to capture sunlight from both sides, are perfect for this location's roof orientation and pitch. The batteries ensure that surplus energy is stored for nighttime use, reducing reliance on the grid.

Projected Impact
Estimated New Monthly Bill: £37/month on the Octopus Flux tariff—a staggering 66% reduction in energy costs!
Energy Independence: The system is designed to cover a significant portion of the household’s energy needs, including the EV charging.
Environmental Benefits: This installation will contribute to reducing CO2 emissions, aligning perfectly with the homeowner’s commitment to sustainability.
Why Octopus Flux?
Octopus Flux is an innovative tariff that rewards households for using and exporting solar energy efficiently. By pairing this tariff with the GivEnergy system, the homeowners will benefit from both lower bills and potential earnings from exporting surplus energy back to the grid.

What’s Next?
We’re just as excited as the homeowners to see the results unfold! Here’s the plan:

6-Month Check-In: Review performance data and savings.
12-Month Review: Analyze the system’s impact over a full year, including seasonal variations.
2-Year Milestone: Evaluate long-term savings and overall energy independence.
A Brighter Future
This project is a shining example of how renewable energy can revolutionize a household’s energy consumption, making it more affordable and sustainable. With these savings, the homeowners are not only reducing their carbon footprint but also paving the way for a future powered by clean energy.

We’re beyond thrilled to see the difference this system will make. If you’re inspired by this story and want to explore how solar energy can transform your home, don’t hesitate to reach out to us at Quantum Renewables. Let’s create a brighter, greener future together! 🌞
