This project highlights Insolation Solar’s expertise in delivering tailored solar PV systems for homes across the West Midlands, helping homeowners significantly reduce energy costs and improve long-term energy independence.

Flat & Pitched Roof Installation

Residential 7.12kW Solar PV System with Battery Storage Solution

Insolation Solar has successfully completed a bespoke residential solar panel installation designed to maximise energy generation across both flat and pitched roof areas. This project highlights Insolation Solar’s expertise in delivering tailored solar PV systems for homes across the West Midlands, helping homeowners significantly reduce energy costs and improve long-term energy independence.

As a family-run solar installation company, Insolation Solar managed the entire project from initial consultation and system design through to installation and commissioning. This fully managed approach ensured a seamless installation process and a system optimised for maximum performance.

Project Overview

The homeowner required a high-performance solar panel system capable of reducing reliance on grid electricity while making full use of the available roof space. As the property featured both pitched and flat roof sections, a tailored system design was essential to ensure optimal solar output.

Following a detailed site survey, Insolation Solar designed a system that strategically positioned panels across both roof types, allowing for an increased system size and improved overall generation.

System Design and Installation

The installed system has a total capacity of 7.12kW and features 15 high-efficiency AIKO Neostar all black solar panels. The majority of the panels were installed on the pitched roof to take advantage of optimal orientation and natural angle, while four panels were mounted on the flat roof using a specialist mounting system to achieve the ideal tilt for solar generation.

This dual-roof configuration allowed Insolation Solar to maximise the available installation space and deliver a larger, more efficient system than would have been possible using a single roof surface alone.

The installation was completed by Insolation Solar’s experienced in-house engineers, ensuring all work was carried out safely, efficiently and in line with industry best practice.

Battery Storage and Performance

The system was paired with a 10.2kWh EcoFlow battery, enabling the homeowner to store excess solar energy generated during the day for use during the evening and overnight.

This significantly increases self-consumption of solar energy and reduces reliance on the grid. Based on projected performance, the system is expected to eliminate the homeowner’s electricity bills, with the potential to generate surplus energy and leave the property in credit through export tariffs.

Environmental Impact

This residential solar installation delivers strong environmental benefits year after year. The system generates enough renewable energy to equate to planting approximately 30 trees annually, avoids the use of around 498 litres of petrol, and prevents approximately 566kg of coal from being burned each year.

These figures demonstrate the positive impact that solar panel installations can have in reducing carbon emissions and supporting a more sustainable future.

Financial Performance

From a financial perspective, this solar PV system offers significant long-term value. With an estimated annual generation of 5,645kWh, this will wipe out their electricity bill leaving them in credit.

As energy prices continue to rise, systems like this provide increased financial stability and long-term protection against rising utility costs.

A Fully Managed Residential Solar Solution

One of Insolation Solar’s key strengths is its complete end-to-end residential solar service. From initial consultation and system design through to installation, battery integration and commissioning, every stage is handled in-house to ensure quality, consistency and reliability.

This project demonstrates how Insolation Solar can design and install high-performance solar panel systems for properties with more complex roof layouts, including combinations of flat and pitched roofs.
