From steel frame to handover: solar powers a happy family in the city

Access & Move ·

For a happy family in the city, the driveway now does double duty: the steel canopy above it supports a solar array. Our Access & Move team installed a 15 kW solar system with 32 kWh of battery storage. Solar is now the home’s main source of electricity.

Making the space work twice

The panels went onto a freestanding steel structure above the driveway. The space underneath remained available while the canopy supported the solar array. The site photos follow the team from setting panels in place to fitting the inverter and batteries indoors.

Why the battery matters

The 15 kW rating describes power. The 32 kWh figure describes how much energy the batteries can store. The batteries store energy generated during the day for use when the panels aren’t producing enough, including after sunset. How long stored energy lasts depends on what is running and how much charge is available.

Handover is part of the job

One of the final photos shows the household gathered around the inverter as the team walks them through the system. Knowing how to read the display and check the battery charge helps the household manage its main power source day to day.
