Solar Success Story: Saving Money & Environment One Watt at a Time
Scott Bannister, facing rising energy costs and a desire to embrace renewable energy, took the plunge and invested in a solar panel, battery storage, and EV charger system powered by Smart Group.
This case study details his journey, highlighting the ease of installation, user-friendly technology, and significant cost savings.
Smooth Installation, Minimal Disruption:
- Smart Group's efficient team completed the installation within a day, with minimal disruption thanks to careful planning and communication.
- The work primarily took place outside, with cables meticulously hidden once complete.
- Scott was kept informed every step of the way, allowing him to plan his work schedule around any potential noise or power outages.
App-tastic Control & Monitoring:
- The user-friendly app allowed Scott to monitor energy generation, optimise usage, and manage load shifting for cost savings.
- Easy integration with the EV charger enabled Scott to maximise self-generated solar power usage for his car.
- Smart Group provided clear instructions and ongoing support to ensure Scott felt confident managing his system.
Cost Savings & Payback:
- Scott witnessed significant cost savings compared to his previous energy bills, ranging from £45 to £95 per month.
- This translates to a potential 7-8-year payback period based on current electric and petrol costs.
- Including the fuel savings from his EV, the payback period shortens to 5-6 years, offering a compelling return on investment.
Beyond Installation: Smart Group's Ongoing Care
- Smart Group facilitated paperwork, warranties, and registration with the DNO, ensuring proper documentation and compliance.
- Scott expressed trust in Smart Group's responsive after-sales support, should any issues arise.
Based on my experience I would highly recommend Smart Group to anyone seeking to retrofit solar PV’s to achieve a meaningful saving in monthly and annual power costs. They are client focussed from initial enquiry through to post installation.
