PROJECT

Llantarnam Grange Arts Centre

Location: Cwmbran
Project Type: Solar PV System

PROJECT OVERVIEW

This project involved the design, supply, and installation of a 7.68kW Solar PV system for a commercial client.

The system was designed to maximise roof space while optimising generation efficiency. It utilises high-output Eurener Nexa 480W modules paired with a SolaX X1-Boost G4 6.0kW single-phase inverter, delivering reliable, efficient, and sustainable energy.

System Specification

  • Solar Modules: 16 × Eurener Nexa 480W panels (total capacity: 7.68kW).
  • Inverter: SolaX X1-Boost G4, 6.0kW single-phase inverter with dual MPPT inputs.
  • Mounting System: Pitched Roof (Fastensol)
  • Monitoring: Integrated Wi-Fi monitoring via SolaX Cloud App.
  • Warranty: 25-year panel performance warranty, 10-year inverter warranty. 2 Year workmanship warranty.

Installation Process

  • Survey & Design: A full site survey was conducted to determine optimal panel orientation and string layout.
  • Mounting & Panels: 16 high-efficiency panels were installed on the pitched roof, using an MCS accredited rail-based mounting system.
  • Inverter & Cabling: The SolaX inverter was mounted externally at the rear of the building with DC cabling routed via MC4 connectors and appropriate isolators.
  • Testing & Commissioning: System tested to BS 7671 standards and commissioned with certification issued under the MCS scheme.
  • Client Handover: User training provided on monitoring and basic system checks.

Expected Performance

  • Estimated Annual Generation: 4,484 kWh/yr
  • CO₂ Savings: 952 kg/yr
  • Energy Use: The system offsets a significant proportion of the client’s grid electricity consumption, reducing bills and exposure to rising energy costs.
  • Export Tariff: Excess energy exported to the grid eligible for Smart Export Guarantee (SEG).

Benefits Delivered

  • High Efficiency: Eurener Nexa 480W modules provide excellent performance even in lower light conditions.
  • Smart Monitoring: SolaX app allows real-time monitoring of system output and consumption.
  • Sustainability: Significant reduction in grid reliance and carbon footprint.

Outcome

The client now benefits from a high-performance solar PV system tailored to their property. The 7.68kW array with a SolaX X1-Boost G4 inverter provides reliable renewable energy, reduced energy bills, and a sustainable energy solution for years to come.
