Can 19 solar panels actually wipe out a £4,000 annual energy bill?
In Part 2 of our series, we’re on-site with Dorset Solar Solutions to witness a massive 8.8kWp installation. This wasn't a straightforward job—we had to navigate some challenged
We’re diving into the tech, featuring the high-efficiency Aiko Neostar 465W panels and the Fox ESS 11.5kWh high-voltage battery system. From leveling out dips in the roof to an emergency Amazon Prime delivery that saved the day, see what it really takes to push a property toward zero bills.
Coming up in Part 3: We’ll be analyzing the real-world performance data and seeing if we can hit that 9kW peak!
