Background 

When Stacey and Tobias contacted GL about a solar installation with home battery storage they wanted something that was going to complement their new home and fit in with its aesthetic. This is a pre-requisite of many of our residential consumers who voice concerns about how solar panels will look on their roofs and whether or not they will ‘fit in’. With existing solar tiles already out there plenty of options are available. It is possible, however, to get the right look with roof mounted panels. And that’s exactly what we did!

The Installation 

We installed 10 x 415kw mono black panels on Stacey and Tobias’s new build property in Bromsgrove. There new build property is supported by 4.15 kW panels. The panels were mounted on the roof which means that they blend in beautifully to the dark slate tiles and creating a brilliant aesthetic. As well as the solar array Julian and Lorena also had a DC coupled 5.76kWh FOX Battery installed, which stores excess solar energy for use in the evening.

The all black panels from Perlight come with the TUV inspection mark and a linear performance warranty covering a period of 30 years, and guarantees a maximum performance degression of 0.7% p.a only.

The payback on the panels is 4-5 years and the annual electric production is approximately 61% !!

What Tobias thinks 

Tobias says:

‘The solar PV and Fox Battery System is the perfect addition to our new house. We are very pleased with the installation by GL Electrical and excited to have the sun help power our home day and night.’
