David McMullan: Lowering Farm Costs

The brief

David McMullan wanted to reduce his farm’s dependency on the grid and lower its electricity costs.

As a forward-thinking farmer, he saw the benefits of solar for a more sustainable, cost-effective operation, but wasn’t sure which setup would suit his needs best. That’s when he turned to us for guidance.

We supplied the equipment and Solar Power NI handled the installation, tailoring a solution to David’s exact requirements.

Our solution

Installation and commissioning took three days. The goal was to let the farm generate its own power and minimise the cost of running machinery and other electrical equipment.

Installed: 74 classic glass foil pure solar panels
Mounting kit: Schweizer trapezoidal mounting kit
Inverters: Fronius single-phase inverters

David McMullan: Lowering Farm Costs

Client benefits

The solar array covers a substantial portion of the farm’s energy needs, particularly during peak sunlight, significantly reducing electricity bills.

Energy spend is now more predictable and stable, helping with financial planning and budgeting for the farm.

Why make the switch?

Self-sufficiencyThe farm runs almost entirely on solar power for several days at a time.
Environmental impactThe farm’s carbon footprint has been considerably lowered.
EfficiencyFronius single-phase inverters are renowned for their efficiency and reliability.

Client feedback

David has been extremely pleased with the installation and the benefits to his farm. He commended the team’s professionalism and the seamless integration of the panels into the farm’s existing infrastructure.

Ken McConaghy: Reducing Reliance on the Grid

The brief

After enjoying the benefits of the solar panels we supplied a few years ago, Ken McConaghy wanted to make his home even more energy efficient.

He wanted to be less reliant on the grid, especially during the darker months. We took the time to understand his needs and advised adding battery storage to his setup.

Our solution

We supplied the equipment and Solar Power NI installed and commissioned the battery storage, so Ken can store excess solar energy for later use. This gives him greater control over his energy use and improves the overall efficiency of his system.

Supplied: SOLARWATT panel, inverter and battery storage system

Client benefits

Ken can now store excess energy produced during peak sunlight hours and use it when needed, at night or when sunlight is low.

This has further reduced his dependency on grid power, helping him make the most of his solar investment and lower his energy bills even further.

Why make the switch?

Energy independenceMore self-sufficient, with less need for the grid outside sunlight hours.
Cost savingsStored energy replaces grid electricity at peak times, significantly lowering costs.
SustainabilityThe combined solar and battery setup minimises his carbon footprint.

Client feedback

Ken has been thrilled with the new battery storage system, which has made his solar installation even more effective. He praised Solar Power NI for the seamless integration and the reliability of the products we supplied.
