Case Study: TESLA POWERWALL 3 (Upgrade) Mr Tait
SHREWSBURY SHROPSHIRE.
3.2 Kw Extension to existing FIT system (on higher rate tariff) 13.5 Kw Tesla Powerwall + Gateway
His existing system installed back in 2012 was made up of 16 Sharp NU 185 modules and an SMA inverter located in his loft space.
Mr Tait explained “Originally we just wanted to future proof the property by introducing some battery storage and at the same time bring the inverter down to the garage, which would mean it would be far easier to maintain, and I could also keep an eye on it far more easily”
The main reason given by the other installers for adopting this method was to not alter or interfere with our existing Feed in Tariff System.
This caused me some concern as I would then have two devices to maintain and replace further down the line, and although it probably would have been an effective method to capture my surplus generation; I was not happy with the conversion efficiency of the AC charger option.
Furthermore, I had done some research online and discovered that you could in fact ‘boost’ an existing FIT system if the correct documental procedures were applied.
“I cannot rate highly enough the service I received from this firm. Gareth made sure that the eventual battery fit was the best one for me; he was always available to answer my questions and supply information that would help me in my choice. The team that fitted the battery (Mike and Johnny) were extremely polite and respectful. They carried out the work in a very professional manner and the installation was neat and pleasing to the eye. They worked hard and left the site clean and tidy. In summary, this is a firm I feel you can trust implicitly to provide you with the most optimum solution for the work you require. It was a pleasure doing business with them.”
