Mr Sparke – Solar Installation (Catton)

8.8kW Integrated Solar PV System with Fox ESS Battery Storage

Sustainable Energy Engineering Ltd supplied and installed an 8.8kW fully integrated solar PV system for Mr Sparke in Catton. As a new-build property, the customer wanted a sleek, roof-integrated design with a strong focus on long-term energy independence and reduced reliance on the grid.

The installation includes premium Aiko 440W all-black panels, a Fox ESS 8kW hybrid inverter, and dual EP11 lithium batteries — providing high storage capacity and excellent system efficiency.

Because this is an integrated mounting system, bird mesh was not required.
