This project involved the installation of a solar PV and battery storage system at a domestic property in Peeblesshire. The customer’s goal was to increase their energy independence while ensuring the system remained sympathetic to the character of their home. At almost 150 years old, the property features traditional stone construction and an existing slate roof. Preserving its architecture and appearance was therefore an important consideration throughout the system design and installation.

Gensource installed a 4.5 kWp solar PV system comprising 10 JA Solar 450W panels with power optimisers, paired with a 3.68 kW SolarEdge inverter and a 9.7 kWh SolarEdge battery. The system also includes whole-home backup, helping to maintain power to the property in the event of a grid outage.

The completed installation provides the homeowner with a reliable, future-ready renewable energy system designed to maximise the use of solar electricity generated at the property while reducing reliance on the grid.
