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.
This particular lead was located in Danby Wiske, Northallerton. After initial contact, the client expressed their interest in installing solar panels and an electric vehicle charger alongside the Tesla Powerwall.
The Challenge
Once UCS Renewables confirmed the client’s renewable energy requirements, we provided a quotation for the installation of a turnkey energy solution. The client opted to install the Tesla Powerwall and solar PV so that excess generated electricity could be stored for later use. The chosen electric vehicle charger, the Zappi, integrated into the system to charge the client’s electric vehicle using solar energy. They can opt to charge directly from the panels or from the battery depending on electricity demand.
What UCS Renewables Did
UCS Renewables designed and installed a solar and battery solution featuring twelve 390w JA Solar panels with a Solis 3.6kW inverter. The 4.68kWh solar system was paired with the 13.5kWh Tesla.
Powerwall 2, associated gateway and a 7kW Zappi charger.
The Tesla Powerwall app allows the client to control how energy is used within their home. They can choose to divert generated electricity to the Powerwall or their electric vehicle charger.
During the night, they can control if energy is drawn from the grid or the Powerwall.
