A useful solar design is not simply a panel count and a headline price. Roof space, orientation, shade, daytime consumption, future electrical demand, battery capacity and inverter output all affect the result.
Solar design starts with consumption
We look at how much electricity the household uses and when it is used. A home that is occupied during the day has a different generation profile from one that uses most of its energy during the evening. Heat pumps, electric vehicles, air conditioning and planned extensions should also be considered before the system is fixed.
Our solar and battery calculator gives homeowners a transparent starting point. Consultation and a site survey then confirm the roof, access, shading, cable routes, electrical connection and equipment position.
Panels, battery and inverter work as one system
Panel capacity determines how much solar energy can be generated. Battery capacity determines how much can be stored. Inverter output determines how much power can be converted and supplied at one time. A balanced design considers all three rather than treating them as unrelated products.
What the installation includes
- A property-specific system design and roof layout.
- Consideration of current consumption, peak demand and likely future growth.
- A site survey covering roof condition, access and electrical requirements.
- Neat installation, suitable cable management and the components required for a complete system.
- Monitoring, handover information and continuing technical support.
Local support for the life of the installation
The relationship should continue after commissioning. OmniOrigin provides a named team to contact for monitoring questions, technical assistance and warranty support. That long-term responsibility is an important part of choosing an installer.
