Solar PV on a Zinc Roof

Case Study: Solar PV Installation on Zinc Roof in Hertfordshire

In this case study, Climate Force Ltd. successfully installed a solar PV system on a residential property with a zinc roof in Hertfordshire. The project featured 18 high-performance 440w all-black solar panels, providing an aesthetically pleasing and energy-efficient solution for the homeowner. Given the property’s location in an area known for high winds, extra precautions were taken to ensure the system’s durability and stability. We chose the Renusol S5 Seam Clamp for each standing seam on the zinc roof, providing secure mounting while offering superior protection against the forces of wind. This choice of mounting system helps to guarantee the longevity of the installation, even in challenging weather conditions.

The solar installation was complemented by a cutting-edge Generation 3 GivEnergy battery and inverter system. This battery offers an innovative energy storage solution, allowing the homeowner to store excess solar energy generated during the day for use in the evening or on cloudy days. With a capacity to store up to 9.5 kWh, the GivEnergy battery maximises self-consumption and ensures the home remains powered with clean, renewable energy. The GivEnergy inverter seamlessly integrates with the solar panels, efficiently converting DC power into AC power for the home’s electrical needs. This inverter is designed for both residential and commercial installations, offering a user-friendly interface and optimal system performance.

The GivEnergy system also provides peace of mind with a 12-year warranty, ensuring reliability and long-term support for the homeowner. The inverter’s advanced technology, combined with the battery’s impressive storage capacity, enhances energy independence and reduces reliance on the grid. This installation not only boosts energy efficiency but also contributes to a more sustainable future by reducing carbon emissions. The project is a great example of how solar energy, combined with a robust battery storage solution, can provide lasting benefits in both performance and environmental impact.
