AIKO solar panels with a Solis inverter and battery in Coventry

This C4 Smart Solutions project in Coventry brings together roof-mounted AIKO solar panels, a 10 kW Solis inverter and a new 10 kWh Solis Storage battery. The original installation photographs show the roof array and the wall-mounted inverter and battery equipment.

What we installed

• AIKO solar panels mounted on the property’s tiled roof.
• A 10 kW Solis inverter as part of the solar PV system.
• A new 10 kWh Solis Storage home battery.

Solar generation and storage planned together

Solar panels generate electricity during daylight hours. Battery storage can retain surplus solar electricity for use later, depending on generation, household demand and the system settings. The equipment and capacity for another home need to be selected around that property’s roof, electrical supply and electricity use.

Thinking about solar panels and battery storage in Coventry? We can discuss a new installation or assess options for an existing system. Tell us your postcode, current equipment and what you want your system to do.

01 · Battery storage

Tesla Powerwall with Gateway

This completed battery storage project features a Tesla Powerwall and Gateway installed at the property. Our original reel shows the finished equipment arrangement and presents the installation as a home energy storage and backup project.

What this project demonstrates

• A Powerwall and Gateway installed together as part of the system.
• The finished wall-mounted equipment layout.
• Battery storage considered alongside the property’s backup requirements.

Backup coverage and running time depend on the agreed design, battery charge and electricity use. If power-cut protection matters to you, include it in your enquiry so the required equipment and supported circuits can be assessed.

02 · Existing solar modernisation

Ground-mounted solar upgrade with SolaX battery storage

This project upgraded an existing ground-mounted solar PV system. The work described in our original publication included replacing the existing inverter with a SolaX three-phase hybrid inverter and adding four Triple Power battery units, stated as 5.7 kWh each.

Confirmed installation scope

• Modernisation of an existing ground-mounted solar installation.
• Replacement of the existing inverter with a three-phase SolaX hybrid inverter.
• Addition of four SolaX Triple Power batteries.

The photographs show both the solar array and the inverter and battery equipment. For a similar upgrade, we first need to understand your existing inverter, installation documents and intended use. Equipment compatibility is assessed for each property.

Details to consider for your own charger

Your parking arrangement, proposed charger position, electrical supply and cable route all shape the installation. Tell us about any solar panels or battery storage so we can consider the charging requirements together.

The quote for your property will set out the selected equipment and agreed electrical work. Send your postcode and accessible photographs of the proposed position, meter and consumer unit; do not remove electrical covers.

04 · Smart home extension

Loxone smart blinds extension in Meriden

At a property in Meriden, C4 Smart Solutions expanded an existing Loxone smart home setup with additional smart window blinds. Our project video shows work at the control system.

Working with the existing installation

An extension starts with understanding the current controls, blind motors, wiring and the functions the household wants to add. We assess compatibility and access before agreeing the installation and programming scope.

This project shows how an existing smart home can be developed around a specific everyday need. The options for another property depend on its installed equipment and design.
