Installed in Alkimos- 6038

This Alkimos home received a complete solar and battery package designed to cover daytime generation and provide substantial stored energy for evening and overnight use. The system also includes blackout protection so essential circuits remain powered during grid outages.

Installed Equipment

9.69 kW rooftop solar panel system
50 kWh Alpha ESS battery storage setup
AC-coupled configuration for flexible energy management
Safety bollards in front of battery units
Clean conduit routing and isolator switches
Blackout protection for selected essential loads

Installation Approach

The rooftop solar array was installed across multiple roof sections to maximise generation throughout the day. Panels were mounted flush to the metal roof to maintain a clean finish and ensure optimal performance in coastal conditions.

The 50 kWh battery bank was installed inside the garage in a tidy, evenly spaced layout. Each unit was protected with bollards and linked via rigid conduit for a safe and compliant installation. The inverter and associated switching gear were placed adjacent to the storage units to maintain a compact, accessible setup.

The AC-coupled design allows the solar system and the battery bank to operate cohesively without needing to replace or modify the existing inverter architecture, offering strong flexibility for future expansion.
