Greenfields completed a full renewable energy installation for this domestic property in Stainton, Cumbria, combining a Samsung air-source heat pump, an in-roof solar PV system, and battery storage.
This project was designed to provide the homeowner with a more efficient, future-ready heating and energy system, reducing reliance on traditional fuels while improving overall energy performance.
The Property & Requirements
The property is a bungalow in Stainton, with suitable roof space for solar PV and external space for a heat pump installation.
The homeowner was looking to:
- Upgrade their existing heating system
- Reduce ongoing energy costs and their carbon footprint
- Install a system designed for long-term efficiency
The Installation
Greenfields designed and installed a fully integrated system combining heating and electricity generation.
Air Source Heat Pump Installation
A Samsung air source heat pump was installed externally to provide space heating and hot water for the property. Internally, the system was connected to a new hot water cylinder and control system, ensuring efficient heat distribution throughout the home.
In-Roof Solar PV System
An in-roof solar PV system was installed to generate electricity directly from the property’s roof. This integrates neatly with the roofline, providing a clean, low-profile finish while maximising available generation capacity.
Battery Storage Integration
A battery storage system was installed alongside the solar PV to allow the homeowner to store excess electricity generated during the day. This stored energy can then be used later in the evening or during periods of lower generation, improving overall system efficiency and reducing reliance on grid electricity.
Installation Details
The installation included:
- External Samsung air source heat pump unit
- Internal hot water cylinder and controls
- Full system integration between heating and solar generation
- In-roof solar PV array
- Battery storage system
- Electrical and plumbing connections throughout
All components were installed and commissioned by Greenfields’ in-house team, ensuring a fully integrated system.
Outcome
The completed system provides:
- Efficient low-carbon heating via the heat pump
- On-site electricity generation from solar PV
- Improved energy independence through battery storage
- Modern, integrated renewable energy solution
By combining multiple technologies into a single system, the property now benefits from improved efficiency and a more future-ready energy setup.
