Solar and Battery Installation Farington Moss: £820 Estimated Annual Savings
Every home uses energy differently. Because of this, the best solar systems are designed around the property’s energy needs, rather than simply using all available roof space.
This Solar and Battery Installation Farington Moss project on Croston Road, Farington Moss (PR26), shows how solar panels and battery storage can help reduce energy costs while generating clean electricity.
Installed by NRG Solar Ltd, this system combines 18 × 455W solar panels with a 6kW Hanchu inverter and 8.93kWh of usable Hanchu battery storage.
The system is expected to provide approximately £820 in annual energy bill savings, with an estimated payback period of 10 years and 6 months.
System Overview
This installation has been designed to generate renewable electricity throughout the year while allowing the homeowner to store and export surplus energy.
System Specifications:
- 18 × 455W solar panels
- 8.19kWp solar PV system
- 6kW Hanchu inverter
- 8.93kWh usable Hanchu ESS battery storage
- 1 × Hanchu ESS battery
Together, these components provide a complete solar and battery system.
During the day, the solar panels generate electricity from sunlight. The home can use this energy first, while surplus power can charge the Hanchu battery.
Later, stored energy can help power the home when solar generation falls. This can reduce the amount of electricity imported from the grid.
How This Solar and Battery Installation in Farington Moss Works
The solar panels generate electricity during daylight hours. The property uses the generated electricity to meet its energy needs.
When generation is higher than household demand, the system can send surplus electricity to the battery.
The stored energy can then be used later in the day. Any additional surplus can be exported to the grid through the Smart Export Guarantee.
For this installation, the expected energy split is:
- 46% self-consumption
- 54% exported to the grid
This means almost half of the electricity generated is expected to be used directly within the home.
Solar generation changes throughout the year. For this system, generation is expected to be highest between April and September.
The strongest month is expected to be June, with average daily generation reaching approximately 31kWh.
July follows closely, with around 29.6kWh generated per day.
During the summer months, higher solar output can create more surplus electricity. The battery can store some of this energy, while additional generation can be exported to the grid.
Financial Results
This system has been designed to provide long-term financial benefits through both energy savings and electricity exports.
Estimated Annual Energy Bill Savings:
Approximately £820
Estimated Payback Period:
10 years and 6 months
Estimated Annual Energy Bill After Installation:
Approximately £263
The homeowner can also benefit from payments for surplus electricity exported to the grid through the Smart Export Guarantee.
Estimated Cumulative Bill Savings
The projected financial return continues to grow as the system generates renewable electricity and exports surplus power.
| Year | Usage Savings | Smart Export Guarantee | Total Savings |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | £606 | £396 | £1,002 |
| 5 | £3,687 | £1,898 | £5,584 |
| 10 | £9,682 | £3,529 | £13,211 |
| 15 | £18,315 | £5,126 | £23,441 |
| 20 | £31,119 | £6,636 | £37,755 |
These figures show how a professionally designed solar and battery system can provide value over the long term.
Environmental Benefits
The financial savings are only part of the benefit.
By generating renewable electricity at home, this installation also helps reduce the property’s environmental impact.
Every Year:
- Approximately 2 tonnes of CO₂ reduced
- 174% offset of CO₂, SOₓ and NOₓ emissions
Over the System Lifetime:
The environmental impact is equivalent to:
- 46,020km of car travel avoided
- 296 trees planted
- 33 long-haul flights avoided
As a result, the homeowner can reduce energy costs while also helping to lower carbon emissions.
