Project Duration

03 Days

Project Location

Beecroft, NSW

Highlights

We took on a fantastic project in Beecroft, NSW and installed solar panels for a happy Hornsby resident. It only took three days, and now their home runs on clean energy, and they don’t have to worry about power outages. It’s all about making life greener and easier! 

Project Overview

Ben approached SJ Power with a clear vision for his home energy project in Beecroft, NSW. He wanted to go green, reduce his energy bills to zero, and be prepared for future electric vehicle (EV) charging. As an IT specialist, he also needed a reliable backup power source. To meet his needs, SJ Power designed a solar panel system that could charge batteries for backup power when needed.

We also ensured the system would look good on Ben’s modern home. Despite some weather challenges, the project was a success and was completed within 3 days. Now, Ben enjoys energy independence, and a sleek solar setup, and is ready for his future electric vehicle.

Our Approach

Crafting the Perfect Solar and Battery Solution

Every project comes with its unique challenges, and for Ben’s residential solar and battery installation in Beecroft, we were determined to overcome them with precision and innovation.

check

Our first task was to size the solar system appropriately, ensuring it covered Ben's in-home power usage while allowing surplus energy to charge his future EV.

check

After careful analysis, we concluded that a 10.12kW solar installation was ideal for Ben. This decision factored in the shading potential from the large gum trees surrounding his house.

check

To handle this shading effectively and facilitate expandable battery modules, we opted for the Enphase IQ8 microinverter solution. This choice would not only maximise solar energy production but also seamlessly integrate with the battery system.

check

For Ben's energy independence and backup power needs, we selected 3 x Enphase 5kWh battery modules, providing his family with a total of 15kWh of battery storage usable during nighttime or grid outages. This decision was driven by our commitment to balancing power capacity and cost-effectiveness.

The 5kWh battery modules offered an expandable solution at a lower cost compared to traditional 10kWh battery modules.

Additionally, our integrated system allowed us to present all the relevant data conveniently to Ben through a single phone app or web browser.

In our quest to deliver the perfect residential solar battery installation, we navigated the complexities of solar panel installation, battery integration, and future-proofing for EV charging, all while ensuring Ben’s complete satisfaction.

Challenges

Achieving Excellence Amidst Solar Installation Hurdles

Every project comes with its unique set of challenges, and at SJ Power, we pride ourselves on not just meeting but conquering them. Our latest venture into solar and battery installation in Beecroft, NSW, was no exception. 

check

When it comes to installing solar batteries, precision and attention to detail are paramount. During this project, we faced a unique challenge due to the low pitch of Ben's roof. To ensure a flawless installation, we made the bold decision to remove a tin roof sheet, providing us access to the cable riser above his main switchboard.

check

This strategic move allowed us to achieve something remarkable, the complete concealment of all cabling within the walls of the house. The absence of an unsightly surface conduit was a triumph in itself, ensuring a clean and aesthetically pleasing installation.

check

In the ever-evolving field of solar installation, forward-thinking is essential. While addressing the roof pitch challenge, we went a step further with another challenge. While the roof sheet was removed, we seized the opportunity to pull through a cable for Ben's future EV charger.

check

This savvy move not only streamlined the installation process but also positioned Ben for future savings, both in terms of time and money, when it comes to his EV charger installation.

In the realm of solar installation in Beecroft, where challenges are the norm, our ability to turn obstacles into opportunities sets us apart. It’s a testament to our dedication to providing excellent solutions and ensuring customer satisfaction.
