At Now EV, every solar installation is more than just a technical enhancement; it's a commitment to a cleaner, more sustainable future.


Our mission is to deliver innovative, future-proof solar solutions that offer long-term value for homeowners and empower them to take control of their energy usage.


Our latest project showcases how a well-integrated solar energy system can transform a household's energy efficiency, reduce costs, and contribute to a greener world. By combining cutting-edge solar panels in Buckinghamshire, high-performance energy storage, and intelligent energy management, this installation ensures that homeowners benefit from reliable, renewable power every day.


A Smart Solar Solution for a Modern Home

The homeowners, a forward-thinking family, were searching for an energy solution to lower their reliance on traditional grid electricity while embracing sustainable living.


With rising energy prices and growing environmental awareness, they wanted a system that would provide:

  • Reduced energy costs with long-term savings

  • Reliable backup power through battery storage

  • Smart energy management for efficiency and convenience

  • A durable system with minimal maintenance needs

To achieve these goals, Now EV designed and installed a comprehensive solar energy system that delivers maximum efficiency and long-term sustainability.


Project Overview

For this installation, our team integrated:


  • 13 AIKO Neostar 455W N-Type all-black solar panels that offer high conversion efficiency and excellent performance in varying light conditions. Their sleek design also enhances the home's modern aesthetic.

  • A Fox ESS EP11 10.36kWh battery, ensuring superior energy storage capacity and seamless power management, allowing the homeowners to store and use energy efficiently.

  • A Fox Hybrid Inverter with EPS 3.7kW, optimising solar energy conversion, battery storage, and grid interaction for a smarter, more autonomous energy system.

  • Van der Valk mounting system provides robust, long-lasting structural support tailored to the property's unique needs.

  • Bird-blocking mesh, protecting the system from wildlife interference while maintaining peak operational efficiency.

  • Remote monitoring lets homeowners track energy production, storage, and usage in real time through a smartphone or web portal.


Each component was carefully selected to maximise energy production, ensure longevity, and support the homeowners' goal of energy independence.


Optimising Solar Power with AIKO Neostar Panels

We installed 13 AIKO Neostar 455W N-type all-black solar panels to generate the highest possible output. These high-efficiency panels provide superior low-light performance, making them an excellent choice for the UK's ever-changing weather conditions.


Their all-black design enhances the system's performance and seamlessly integrates with the home's aesthetic, offering a sleek and modern look.


We ensured year-round energy production by strategically positioning the panels to capture optimal sunlight, even on cloudy days.

Enhancing Energy Security with Advanced Battery Storage

A key feature of this installation is the Fox ESS EP11 10.36kWh battery, a powerful storage solution that allows homeowners to store excess solar energy for the evening or grid outages. With this advanced storage system, they can:


  • Maximise self-consumption of solar energy

  • Reduce dependence on the grid, especially during peak hours

  • Maintain power security in case of outages

  • Increase overall energy efficiency and long-term savings


Battery storage ensures that clean energy is available when needed, making this solar installation a truly independent and future-proof system.


Smart Energy Management with the Fox Hybrid Inverter

We installed a Fox Hybrid Inverter with EPS 3.7kW to integrate solar generation and storage seamlessly. This intelligent system optimises energy conversion and battery charging while allowing emergency power supply (EPS) capabilities.


With smart load management and real-time monitoring, homeowners can efficiently manage their energy usage, ensuring that solar power is maximised throughout the day.


Protecting the System & Ensuring Longevity

To prevent potential disruptions from wildlife, we installed a bird-blocking mesh, which:


  • Prevents birds from nesting under the panels

  • Protects the system from debris accumulation

  • Helps maintain long-term system efficiency


This simple yet crucial addition ensures that the solar installation remains durable and maintenance-free for years.


Real-Time Monitoring for Greater Control

With remote monitoring capabilities, homeowners can track their system's performance anytime, anywhere. Through a smartphone app or web portal, they can monitor:

  • Energy generation and consumption

  • Battery storage levels

  • Grid interaction and cost savings


This level of transparency and control ensures they get the most out of their solar investment while staying informed about their energy usage patterns.
