Project Details
In the heart of Exeter, Electrix Renewable is in the midst of executing one of its most intriguing solar projects to date. What sets this project apart is not just the location or the scope, but the innovative system that we're employing. This particular solar installation in Exeter is a testament to local ingenuity, as we've collaborated with a local manufacturer, the Cornish Rocker, to integrate their state-of-the-art adjustable solar panels.
A Unique Solar Solution
Cornish Rocker has pioneered a solar panel system that beautifully marries functionality with adaptability. Unlike conventional fixed solar panels, the Cornish Rocker panels are uniquely designed to adjust their angle with the changing seasons. This means, as the sun's position shifts from summer to winter, so too can the panels, ensuring they consistently capture the maximum amount of solar radiation throughout the year.
The benefits of this system are manifold. By maximising solar radiation capture, these adjustable panels optimise energy generation, thus increasing the overall efficiency and, by extension, the return on investment for property owners. For a city like Exeter, where the weather can be unpredictable, having a system that can be tweaked to perfection is invaluable.
Integrated Renewable Solutions
But this solar installation in Exeter is more than just about the panels. As part of a more extensive renewables project, the installation seamlessly integrates with other green solutions to form a holistic, environmentally friendly energy system.
One of the standout features is the inclusion of battery storage. Solar energy, while abundantly sustainable, is intermittent by nature. The sun isn't always shining, and on cloudy days or during the night, energy generation can dip. With battery storage, excess energy generated during sunny spells is stored for later use. This ensures a steady power supply, even when the solar panels aren't actively generating electricity.
Additionally, the project embraces the power of geothermal energy with a ground source heat pump. By harnessing the stable temperatures beneath the earth's surface, this heat pump provides efficient heating for the property. When combined with the solar panels, the result is a comprehensive green energy solution that meets the property's electrical and heating needs.
New Build Extension: A Modern Green Vision
This solar installation in Exeter isn't just a standalone project; it forms a pivotal part of a new build extension. Integrating renewable solutions into new builds represents a forward-thinking approach, ensuring that the property is energy-efficient from the outset.
By embedding these systems into the design and infrastructure of the extension, we can ensure a seamless blend of modern architecture with cutting-edge green technology. It’s not just about saving on energy bills or even reducing one’s carbon footprint, vital as those are. It's about envisioning a future where homes and businesses in Exeter and beyond are built with sustainability at their core.
