Client Background
This client was introduced to UCS Renewables through Tesla’s ‘Approved Installers’ referral scheme. The web-based scheme connects leads interested in Tesla Powerwall energy storage solutions with a local installer.
In this case, the lead was based in Darlington and was recommended our company. Our office is based in Middlesbrough but offers renewable energy services throughout the United Kingdom.
The Challenge
Once we received the lead from Tesla, we contacted the client to confirm his interest in the Tesla Powerwall and check for additional services such as solar PV and electric vehicle charging.
This client wanted to incorporate additional solar PV panels with his existing solar PV system to produce and store excess energy produced by the system within the Tesla Powerwall.
What UCS Renewables Did
We designed and installed a solar and battery solution featuring six 365w Canadian Solar panels with a Solis 2kW inverter. The 2.1kWh solar system was paired with the 13.5kWh Tesla Powerwall 2 and associated gateway.
The Tesla Powerwall offers an emergency backup system coupled with storm warnings. The system will notify our client of upcoming storms and unplanned power loss. The Tesla automatically discharges stored energy to power home appliances, coupled with solar panels the system can produce an uninterrupted supply of energy until grid power is restored.
The Tesla mobile app allows our client to monitor stored energy, charging times, power flow and more.
