Clients needs

The client wanted to reduce reliance on the national grid and transition towards a sustainable future. With plans to install an all-electric air source heat pump and purchase an EV, they required a solar PV system that could support increasing energy demands while maximising efficiency and long-term cost savings.

LCS Energy’s Solution

LCS energy installed a 5.98kW Solar PV system comprising 13 x Aiko 460w all black solar panels, paired with a GivEnergy 10kW Hybrid Inverter and 10.2kW GivEnergy high voltage stackable battery storage system. A whole-house emergency power supply (EPS) was included for uninterrupted electricity during outages, alongside an EV charger for smart energy integration.

Results

Significant Energy Savings – The system offsets electricity costs, with surplus energy generating export payments.

Carbon Footprint Reduction – The system offsets 1,045kg of CO₂ annually, equivalent to planting 41 trees.

Enhanced Energy Security – The emergency power supply ensures electricity during outages.

Future-Proof Design – The modular setup allows easy expansion for increased energy needs.

This project highlights the benefits of a well-planned solar PV system in achieving long-term sustainability and financial savings.

Brands we used to complete the install

We cannot recommend LCS highly enough

When we decided to embark on a journey to generate our own Green Energy we looked at several companies, and after meeting with LCS Energy, not only were they local to us, but their knowledge and professional approach made them stand out and gave us confidence to work with them on our projects. We cannot recommend LCS highly enough. Their commitment to excellence, professionalism, and unwavering support throughout our solar project has been unquestionable.

LCS take time to explain every step of the process

From our initial meetings to discuss requirements, through to the final installation of over 800 panels on our Willows Training Centre roof, LCS has shown the utmost professionalism. Their team is always on-site, through wind and rain. They are hard workers who conduct themselves with a level of expertise that puts us at ease. LCS takes the time to explain every step of the process—not just in technical jargon, but also in layman’s terms so it is clearly understood.

LCS carry out this work in-house with their own expert team

LCS have provided us with a one-stop solution. Unlike some other companies that outsource critical design work, LCS carry out this work in-house with their own expert team. They meticulously carried out assessments of the building, taking into account any issues with the orientation of the roof and any potential shading issues, and adapted the installation so as to maximise the solar power that is being generated.

Supporting their clients throughout the entire lifecycle of the project

LCS are without a doubt committed to supporting their clients throughout the entire lifecycle of the project. Whether it’s routine maintenance, system upgrades, or addressing any concerns, their customer service is unparalleled. They are always prompt to respond to any queries prior to, during, and after installation. Their support, once again, is unquestionable.

Transparency, honesty, and expertise clearly define who LCS Energy are
