CLIENT

A family home in Northampton looking for maximum roof output with a competitively priced, well-matched battery system.

The Project

The roof comfortably carried 23 panels. The design focused on getting the panel-to-cost ratio right, keeping the payback period short while still delivering a full day-and-night storage solution.

The technical scope included:

  • 23 × Aiko 475W all-black solar panels (10.93 kWp total capacity)
  • SigenStor EC 10.0SP hybrid inverter
  • 2 × SigenStor BAT 10.0 (18 kWh usable storage)
  • Bird mesh fitted to all pitched-roof panels
The Solution

Solar4Good designed a system built around value — strong output at a competitive price — from survey to commissioning.

Key aspects included:

  • Maximised Roof Output – 23 all-black Aiko modules sized to the full usable roof.
  • Sharp Panel-to-Cost Ratio – Specified to keep the payback period as short as possible.
  • Full Day-and-Night Storage – Twin SigenStor batteries for round-the-clock self-supply.
  • Safety & Compliance – Installed fully in line with UK building and electrical standards.
The Result

Over 10,000 kWh a year from the roof and an estimated 7–8 year payback — a strong example of a high-output system priced to perform.

Environmental impact:

  • Average CO₂ savings: 2,110 kg/year
  • Equivalent to planting 2,200 trees over the system’s lifetime
  • Lifetime CO₂ offset: ~53,000 kg

Financial savings:

  • Lifetime savings: ~£46,000
  • Average savings: ~£1,860 per year
  • ROI / Payback period: 7–8 years

Client benefits:

  • High output at a competitive price
  • One of the quickest paybacks in this set
  • Significant contribution towards Net Zero
  • Sleek all-black modules for kerb appeal

Methodology & assumptions. All figures are modelled estimates, not metered results, and are rounded for presentation.
  • Generation: system size (kWp) × regional specific yield (800 kWh/kWp Highlands, 920–950 kWh/kWp England).
  • Savings: self-consumed units at the 24.67p/kWh Ofgem residential rate; exported units at 7p/kWh (conservative SEG).
  • Lifetime savings: annual saving × 25 years (no tariff escalation applied).
  • ROI: system cost ÷ annual saving. Carbon: ~0.21 kg CO₂/kWh grid displacement; trees are illustrative only.
Actual savings depend on each household’s consumption, generation and tariff at the time of install. Solar4Good is MCS-certified.
