Green Energy Projects-The Heat Goes On.

2023 has started out extremely busy for us here at Carter Electrical Installations. We are working on several projects, both commercial and residential, where clients are looking for Green energy solutions. So as well as having solar panels fitted clients are looking for solutions by adding storage batteries, EV chargers and Air Source Heat Pumps. We described this as the Triple Solution in a blog last year.

Clearly the surge in energy prices last year is driving demand for Green energy solutions. The return on investment on installing these products is so much higher when gas and electricity prices have soared. Also helping is the easing of supply chain bottlenecks, although some products are still on fairly long lead times.

Emmer Green Energy Project

We recently completed a project in Emmer Green where we added more solar panels, an immersion diverter and a Zappi EV charger. This project will be completed next year when we add a Tesla storage battery. This is one of the products that still has a long lead time.

The solar panels were mounted on a K2 system and we installed a Solar Edge 4kw inverter. The EV charger is from myenergi Zappi and we also installed an Eddi immersion diverter from myenergi.

Caversham Energy Project

The project highlighted in the header picture is from our recent work in Chazey Road, Caversham. The client is so pleased with the results that he has cut off his gas supply and gone fully electric. This was a comprehensive project with 10kw of solar fitted to SolarEdge inverter, with optimisers to maximise panel performance and minimise the effects of shading, a Tesla storage battery, a Samsung HTQ air source heat pump and a Mixergy smart hot water cylinder. This is a serious investment by the client but has superb outcomes with lower bills for most of the year and insulated against price increases.

Golf Courses Go Green

Here at Carter Electrical we are very keen golfers (Some of us are). With our substantial golf course knowledge it has been a real pleasure to work at several golf courses in our region recently. We have had projects at Wentworth, Billingbear and The Caversham over the last year. Also we have have worked at St. George’s Hill and Henley GC. With our expert knowledge of both golf courses and Green energy we bring the best of both worlds to golf clubs. If you are thinking of a Green energy project at your golf club then please do get in touch and we can advise accordingly. Recent projects have involved Solar PV, storage batteries, lighting and EV chargers.

The Caversham: Full electrical and mechanical fit out of the greenkeepers warehouse combined with Solar PV. We also fitted lighting and heating in their temporary marquee during the Covid lockdown.

Wentworth: A large new power supply and fibre optic cable to an events marquee.

Billingbear: We fitted Solar PV and a storage battery to the main clubhouse.

St. George’s Hill: We fitted another marquee with power, heating and lighting. We carried out a lot of testing on power outlets combined with further small works.
