Project Overview
Located in the picturesque Yorkshire countryside, Lower Shaw Booth Farm in Wainstalls sought an energy solution that would help reduce their energy costs while embracing renewable energy. The owners were eager to transition to solar power and reduce their reliance on the grid. Novus Energy designed and installed an 8kW Solar PV system, which included 20 high-efficiency solar panels, a SolaX Battery, and a SolaX Inverter to ensure optimal energy production and storage.
Given that the property features a Yorkshire stone roof, which requires special care and skill during installation, our expert team was well-prepared to ensure the project was handled smoothly and professionally.
The Installation
- System Size: 8kW
- Number of Panels: 20
- Battery Storage: SolaX Battery
- Inverter: SolaX Inverter
- Annual Energy Generation: 6,120 kWh
- Roof Type: Yorkshire Stone
- Location: Lower Shaw Booth Farm, Wainstalls
Yorkshire stone roofs, like slate, are known for their aesthetic appeal but can be challenging for solar panel installation. Many installers charge extra due to the additional time, skill, and care required to work on these premium roofing materials. At Novus Energy, however, our team has extensive experience installing solar panels on all roof types, including slate and Yorkshire stone, and we never charge extra for these more challenging installations.
Our installers worked meticulously to secure the solar panels to the stone roof, ensuring a durable and long-lasting fit while preserving the beauty and integrity of the roof.
Results & Benefits
- Annual Energy Generation: 6,120 kWh of solar energy generated annually.
