The Challenge
The farm had 700m of barn roof but spread across 4 separate buildings with different orientations. DNO connection limited to 50 kW G99 export. Daytime load peaked at lunchtime when staff were on tea break.
Our Solution
Split-array design across 3 buildings totalling 32 kWp, all DC-coupled to a single Tesla Powerwall 3 + expansion. Storm Watch enabled for rural reliability during outages.
The Result
First year actual generation 31,800 kWh (vs 31,200 PV*SOL prediction). 86% self-consumption thanks to battery shifting evening loads. Annual saving £8,400 against pre-install bills.
