Seamless Solar Installation
Situated in the picturesque Shropshire village of Aston on Clun, this rental property required a carefully considered renewable energy solution that balanced the landlord’s compliance needs with day-to-day practicality for the tenants.
With government legislation around EPC requirements for rental properties becoming increasingly strict, the landlord needed a system that would not only improve the home’s current energy rating but also help future-proof the property against further regulatory changes.
What We Installed:
A tailored design built for the future
Following successful planning approval, The Power of Green designed and installed a discreet but highly effective system that includes:
- A 3.5 kW all-black solar PV array, selected to complement the character of the property while maximising energy generation
- A 10.2 kW battery storage system, positioned externally to preserve valuable indoor space
- Emergency backup capability to provide power during outages
- An EV charging point for convenient and affordable home charging
- Integration with off-peak energy tariffs to help optimise running costs
Every part of the installation was planned with performance, compliance and long-term value in mind.
The results:
Changing how the property uses energy
The combination of solar generation and intelligent battery storage has transformed how the tenants power their home. By storing surplus energy and making the most of lower cost off-peak tariffs, they now benefit from:
- Lower electricity bills
- Reduced exposure to rising energy prices
- Reliable backup power during grid interruptions
- More affordable EV charging
- A more sustainable, lower-carbon way of living
The property has now achieved a ‘C’ EPC rating, ensuring it meets both current and forthcoming government standards for private rental homes. This provides reassurance for the landlord while delivering long-term benefits for the tenants.
This project shows how a well-designed solar and battery system can protect property value, improve the tenant experience and ensure regulatory compliance, while also delivering meaningful financial savings.
Superb customer service throughout, all our questions were answered with sensible answers and they didn't try to blind us with science, all this with no hard sell tactics.Very happy with the SolaX system and definitely recommend THE POWER OF GREEN to anyone looking for a no hassle, quality installation with great after sales backup.
