A 17.1 kWp, 38-panel array across three roof orientations, paired with 24 kWh of SigenStor battery storage — giving the Shelton family in Birmingham reliable homegrown power day and night.
Stuart Shelton set out to own an eco-conscious, energy-efficient home — taking control of rising electricity costs, improving household resilience and cutting his carbon footprint.
His roof spans three orientations — east, south and west — so the system had to capture generation from morning through to evening rather than relying on a single midday peak.
Solar4Good installed 38 DMEGC 450W panels (17.1 kWp) across the east, south and west roof faces, paired with a SigenStor EC 12.0SP hybrid inverter and 24 kWh of SigenStor battery storage.
The multi-orientation layout balances output across the day, while the battery stores roughly 88% of surplus solar for evening and night use — reducing reliance on the grid and future-proofing against rising tariffs.
Solar4Good designed and installed a 17.1 kWp multi-orientation solar and battery system for the Shelton family home in Birmingham.
