27.6% ROI Case Study

Location: Belmore Lane, Lymington. A bespoke flat-roof system using Aiko Gen 2 & Sigenergy AI.

The Challenge

The property, located on Belmore Lane in Lymington, is a large home with a significant energy appetite. The homeowner, Bea, had an estimated annual consumption of 16,000 kWh.

With energy prices rising, relying solely on the grid was costing over £4,200 per year. The goal was simple: reduce reliance on the grid and turn the roof into a financial asset.

20-Year Savings: Predicted £140,856

The "Ferrari" of Solar Hardware

To achieve these numbers in the UK climate, standard technology isn't enough. We deployed a Van Der Valk mounting system for the flat roof, ensuring optimal pitch and self-cleaning capabilities.

1. Aiko Generation 2 Panels (475W)

We installed 34 x 475 Watt Aiko Energy panels. These feature a black frame with white backing.

Why White Backing? It keeps the panel cooler and reflects more light within the laminate, squeezing out higher efficiency than standard "all-black" panels. In a 34-panel array, this small gain compounds into massive generation figures.

2. Sigenergy SigenStor (AI Driven)

The system is controlled by the Sigenergy SigenStor EC 10.0SP. This is a 5-in-1 energy controller paired with 18.08 kWh of LFP battery storage.

AI & Intelligent Arbitrage

Hardware is only half the battle. The Sigenergy system uses AI to watch the weather and energy prices (specifically the Octopus Flux tariff).

  • Weather Watch: If tomorrow looks cloudy, the battery pre-charges from the grid at 2am (cheap rate).
  • Peak Shaving: During the expensive 4pm-7pm window, the house runs 100% off the battery.
  • LFP Chemistry: We use Lithium Iron Phosphate batteries for superior safety and longevity compared to older NMC tech.
