In this episode, Imogen explores an unusual but highly effective solar installation – vertical wall-mounted solar panels alongside traditional rooftop panels!
David’s home features 8kW total solar PV (4kW roof + 4kW wall), 13.5kWh Tesla Powerwall storage, a 6kW Daikin heat pump, extensive insulation upgrades, and complete home automation. The result? Zero energy bills and actually being paid £120 a year to run his home!
