When Daniel and Kate approached EPC Improvements to install solar panels on their new build home in Chelmsford, aesthetics and performance were their top priorities. To meet their needs, we designed and installed a 14-panel in-roof solar system that seamlessly integrates with their roof tiles, providing a sleek and modern appearance.

Overview:
An in-roof integrated system was the perfect choice for Daniel and Kate, as it allowed the solar panels to sit flush with the surrounding tiles. This installation method required meticulous planning, including removing and retiling sections of the roof. We selected Longi 430W all-black panels for their excellent performance, sleek look, and 25-year performance warranty.

To optimise energy production, we paired the panels with SolarEdge inverter and optimiser technology. This advanced setup enhances system performance by managing shading issues and improves safety compared to standard systems.

Challenges:
As an in-roof system, the installation was more involved, requiring additional time to remove and re-tile around the solar array. With safety a priority, our project manager, Neil, coordinated scaffolding with edge protection, ensuring a safe and efficient process.

Results:
The installation was completed in 2–3 days, and Daniel and Kate were thrilled with their new solar system. They praised our attentive customer service and are now considering adding battery storage to further enhance their energy independence.

This system not only provides long-term energy security and protection against rising energy costs but also adds value to their home while supporting a sustainable future.
