At SolarTherm UK, we help homeowners across Essex take control of rising energy bills with high performance solar and battery storage systems. This recent installation in Dunmow, Essex showcases how the right solar setup can deliver substantial long term savings while increasing energy independence.
The Project
Our team designed and installed a powerful 8.10kWp solar PV system for a homeowner in Dunmow looking to reduce electricity costs and future proof their property against rising energy prices.
System Specification
- Location: Dunmow, Essex
- System Size: 8.10kWp
- Solar Panels: 18x Aiko N-Type ABC Neostar 450W panels
- Battery Storage: 10kWh Voltsmile battery system
The homeowner wanted a system capable of maximising self-consumption during the day while storing surplus energy for evening use. By pairing premium Aiko N-Type panels with advanced battery storage, we created a highly efficient renewable energy solution tailored to the property’s energy usage.
Why Aiko N-Type ABC Neostar Panels?
The Aiko N-Type ABC Neostar 450W panels are among the most advanced residential solar panels available today. Known for their high efficiency, sleek all black appearance, and strong low light performance, they are ideal for homeowners wanting maximum generation rom available roof space.
Benefits include:
- Higher energy output compared to traditional panels
- Improved efficiency in cloudy UK conditions
- Enhanced long term performance and durability
- Modern aesthetic design that complements the property
Battery Storage for Greater Energy Independence
To maximise savings, the system was paired with a 10kWh Voltsmile battery. This allows the homeowner to store unused solar energy generated during the day and use it later in the evening when electricity demand is higher.
Battery storage helps:
- Reduce reliance on the grid
- Lower electricity bills further
- Provide better control over household energy usage
- Increase self-sufficiency

This installation is expected to deliver impressive financial benefits over its lifespan.
Estimated Performance
