Sam's Solar Journey - Video Knowledge Bank

Why should I watch it?

This video series documents the solar journey of one of our client's from start to finish. It shows all the major steps to designing, project managing, and installing a solar PV and battery system.

It's a great example of the quality and level of design work that you can expect when you request a quote from Spirit. This is what we do for everyone who requests a quotation with us. It's not completely comprehensive (because that would require a case study 10 times the size), but it does present some good examples of the level of technical detail that we work to in order to maximise the financial and economic benefits of your solar system.

This video is an introduction to an 11 part case study showcasing one of our client's journeys with Spirit Energy from enquiry to installation and handover.

It shows what the series is about, as well as a few reasons as to why you may want to watch it.

This video shows how we worked out the optimal solar panel layout, taking the panel-integrated shade mitigation technology into account.

This video shows some of the steps that we take to model for shading from obstacles like trees and chimneys. It also shows why we decided that Enphase microinverters wouldn't be cost-effective for this project.

This video is part 3 in an 11 part case study showcasing one of our client's journeys with Spirit Energy from enquiry to installation and handover.

Watch Tok Charles - tokc@spiritenergy.co.uk, Technical Designer at Spirit Energy since 2020, explain.

This video shows how we consider different ways of mitigating shade, by weighing up the cost-effectiveness of the different options. For this project, we decided that Enphase wouldn't be cost-effective, and designed the panel layout such that the bypass diodes and half cell technology would have a big effect on mitigating the shade.
