At SolarTherm UK, we recently completed another high performance residential solar installation in Rochford, Essex, helping the homeowner reduce their reliance on rising electricity costs while investing in long term energy independence.
This bespoke renewable energy system was carefully designed to maximise generation, storage capacity and future savings for the property.
System Overview
- System Size: 5.85kWp
- Solar Panels: 13x Aiko N-Type ABC Neostar 450W panels
- Battery Storage: 10kWh Voltsmile battery system


Expected Performance and Savings
- Estimated Year 1 Savings: £1,275
- Estimated Payback Period: 10 years
- Predicted 30 Year Savings: £101,316


High Efficiency Solar Performance
For this installation, the customer selected the premium Aiko N-Type ABC Neostar 450W solar panels – known for their exceptional efficiency, sleek all black appearance and outstanding low light performance.
The 5.85kWp system was designed to generate significant renewable energy throughout the year, allowing the homeowner to reduce grid dependence and lower monthly electricity bills from day one.
By pairing the solar array with a powerful 10kWh Voltsmile battery system, excess daytime generation can now be stored and used during the evening, helping maximise self-consumption and improve overall energy efficiency.
Future Proofed Energy Storage
Battery storage is becoming increasingly important for UK homeowners looking to gain greater control over their energy usage. The 10kWh Voltsmile battery system installed at this Rochford property provides ample storage capacity for excess solar energy generated during the day.
This means the homeowner can continue powering their property using stored renewable energy long after the sun goes down – reducing reliance on expensive peak time electricity from the grid.
The system is also future ready for changing energy tariffs and rising electricity costs, helping deliver substantial long term financial benefits.
Long Term Savings and Return on Investment
With projected first year savings of approximately £1,275, this installation offers immediate reductions in household energy costs. Over the system’s lifetime, predicted savings are expected to exceed £101,000, demonstrating the long term value of investing in solar and battery storage.
The estimated 10 year payback period means the system is expected to effectively pay for itself while continuing to deliver decades of renewable electricity generation afterwards.
