Our residential customer already had a 6kW hybrid system with 10 x 380W panels specified and installed by another company. He was unhappy with the system, and the batteries were not charging properly, so he reached out to us for help to support his goal of upgrading the existing system to go completely off-grid.
We added four additional panels on the west side of their home to capture the evening sun. Given the closeness of his beautiful tree, our electrical engineer did comprehensive shading studies and installed the panels in parallel to minimise shading loss.
We then installed a range of Studer equipment to maximise the useable energy in the home, including two solar controllers, an inverter/charger, a battery monitor, and communication and control equipment. To ensure our client’s available energy was maximised and he had complete control and visibility of the system.
We specified Studer Innotec products for this project. Studer is a Swiss-based manufacturer manufacturing power conversion products for the off-grid market for over 30 years. Studer Innotec provides an extensive product range that assures energy storage, conversion, and management. These solutions are designed and manufactured at the same location, in Sion, Switzerland, as a result of the close collaboration and interaction with their global customers.
