When energy prices soared, one Halifax family knew something had to change. But like many households, they didn’t want to sacrifice comfort, cut back on hot water, or constantly worry about what appliances were running.
Instead, they wanted a solution that would let them live the same lifestyle, but with dramatically lower bills. That’s where Novus Energy stepped in.
The Challenge
This family’s monthly electricity bills had doubled in just two years. Heating water, running appliances, charging devices, it all added up. And with a young family at home, reducing usage simply wasn’t realistic.
They needed a way to:
- Cut costs without cutting comfort
- Gain control over unpredictable price rises
- Make their home greener for the next generation
Our Solution
After a detailed survey, we designed a 6.48kW solar panel system with a SolaX battery to maximise savings and independence.
System Details
- 16 x JA Solar Panels (6.48kW)
- SolaX T-BAT H 5.8 Battery (5.22kWh usable capacity)
- SolaX Hybrid Inverter for seamless solar + battery management
- Annual Generation: 4,609 kWh
This setup was chosen to fit their roof perfectly, while giving them the storage needed to use solar power day and night.
The Results 🌞
- Bills cut by 50% in the first year
- £30,973 in lifetime savings projected
- CO₂ reduced by around 1 tonne per year
- Energy independence: stored solar covers evening usage, when grid power is most expensive
Perhaps the most striking result? They didn’t need to change their lifestyle at all. The washing machine still runs when needed. The kids still stream videos and games. The difference is simply where the energy comes from.
Why It Works
The secret is self-consumption. By generating their own power and storing the excess in a battery, this family is using far less electricity from the grid. Even in winter, their panels generate enough to make a meaningful dent in bills.
