Manchester Solar in Action: 5 Real-World Case Studies

A narrow, steep roof on a traditional slate property. The homeowner wanted to maximize generation without ruining the aesthetic of the street.

We installed 8x All-Black 430W panels on the rear-facing roof to maintain the front-facing "heritage" look.

A 3.4kW system generating over 3,000kWh per year, saving the client approximately £680 annually.

A young family using most of their energy in the evenings, meaning they were missing out on daytime solar generation.

A 4.2kW solar array paired with a 9.5kWh GivEnergy Battery.

The family now uses 85% less grid electricity. They charge the battery during the day and use it to power their home through the night.

Integrating solar with an existing EV charger and a high-demand air source heat pump.

A larger 6.5kW system with high-efficiency N-Type panels and a hybrid inverter to manage the EV and Heat Pump loads.

This home achieved an EPC 'A' rating post-installation, increasing the property value by an estimated 4%.

A beautiful garden with large trees caused significant shading on the roof during the afternoon.

We used SolarEdge Power Optimisers on every panel. This ensures that if one panel is in the shade, the others continue to produce at 100% capacity.

Despite the trees, the system out-performed initial estimates by 12%.

A local business facing a 300% increase in energy costs.

A 30kW roof-mounted system on their warehouse.

A payback period of just 4.5 years, saving the business £6,000+ per year in overheads.
