Solar PV Installation with Longi 450W Panels, Solax 5kW Hybrid Inverters, and 11.6kWh Battery Storage on Yorkshire Stone

This project involves the installation of a solar photovoltaic (PV) system, utilizing Longi 450W solar panels, two Solax 5kW Hybrid inverters, and an 11.6kWh battery storage system. One of the notable challenges of this installation is the mounting system on 40mm thick Yorkshire stone. To overcome this complexity, the project’s designer collaborated with manufacturers to develop a solution that meets the Microgeneration Certification Scheme (MCS) standards.

The Longi 450W solar panels are renowned for their high efficiency and performance, ensuring optimal electricity generation from the available sunlight. These panels will be installed in a strategic arrangement to maximize solar energy capture throughout the day, contributing to reduced reliance on traditional power sources and lowering carbon emissions.

The Solax 5kW Hybrid inverters play a critical role in converting the direct current (DC) power generated by the solar panels into usable alternating current (AC) electricity for the electrical system. Additionally, the hybrid feature enables the system to seamlessly switch between solar power, battery storage, and grid power, optimizing energy usage and maximizing self-consumption.

The battery storage system, with a capacity of 11.6kWh, will store excess energy generated by the solar panels during the day for later use. This enables the system to provide power during periods of low or no solar generation, such as nighttime or overcast days. It also enhances energy self-sufficiency and provides backup power in case of grid outages.

The installation complexity arises from the need to mount the system on 40mm thick Yorkshire stone. Yorkshire stone is a durable and visually appealing material, but its thickness poses challenges for conventional mounting systems. To ensure compliance with MCS standards and ensure a secure and reliable installation, the project’s designer worked closely with manufacturers.

The designer collaborated with mounting system manufacturers to develop a custom solution tailored specifically for the Yorkshire stone surface. This involved engineering and testing various mounting brackets, brackets extensions, or customized fixtures that would securely attach to the stone surface while providing the necessary structural stability.

The solution was designed to meet MCS standards, ensuring the installation’s durability, safety, and longevity. The designer and manufacturers collaborated on multiple iterations, considering factors such as load distribution, weather resistance, and aesthetic integration with the stone surface. Through this iterative process, a reliable and aesthetically pleasing mounting system was developed, ensuring the solar PV system’s successful installation on the Yorkshire stone.

Once installed, the solar PV system will generate clean and renewable energy, reducing electricity costs and carbon footprint. The Solax hybrid inverters and battery storage system will enable efficient energy management, allowing the users to maximize self-consumption and reduce reliance on the grid. The system’s performance can be monitored and controlled through a user-friendly interface, providing real-time insights into energy production, consumption, and battery storage levels.

Overall, this project showcases the collaboration between the designer and manufacturers to overcome the complexities of installing a solar PV system on 40mm thick Yorkshire stone while adhering to MCS standards. The result is a reliable, efficient, and aesthetically pleasing solar energy solution that promotes sustainability and energy independence.
