14 Sharp Mono 185W Panels installed on a Welsh Slate roofed cottage near Ashkirk in the Scottish Borders. The cottage’s primary heating source is an electric Aga which has been re-programmed to maximise the use of the excess electricity that the Panels produce.
A recent installation in Longniddry utilising the use of Sanyo 250W Panels. The use of the high output Sanyo Panels allowed for a 3kW system on to a limited roof space. The hybrid technology of monocrystalline and thin film in these Sanyo Panels can produce a significantly higher output than that of standard Panels.
A local example of a system installed on a south and west facing roof. The design incorporated two individual Inverters and the use of ‘Day 4 Energy’ 225W Panels. The 9 bypass diodes within the ‘Day 4 Energy’ Panels make them an ideal choice for sites prone to shading.
An Italian manufactured ‘Sun Pro’ 40 Evacuated Tube array recently installed on a new build just south of Ullapool. The Solar Thermal collectors will complement other renewable elements within the house, including a Biomass Boiler and straw bale and sheep’s wool insulation.
