At Now EV, we know that choosing solar isn't just about panels and batteries — it's about investing in a better way to live. It's about smarter homes, cleaner energy, and more control over how power is generated, stored, and used.
This latest project showcases exactly that. Thoughtfully designed and expertly installed, it reflects the future-forward living becoming more relevant every day. From premium all-black solar panels to an all-in-one smart energy storage system, every element of this installation was selected with performance, durability, and simplicity in mind.
Let's take a closer look at how this home became a model for sustainable living — with technology that's as powerful as it is elegant.
A Home Powered by Innovation
When this homeowner reached out to us, their goal was clear: they wanted a solar setup that wasn't just functional but intelligent — a system that could handle everything from daily energy demands to future electric vehicle charging, all while keeping the home looking sharp and sophisticated.
What we delivered is a comprehensive, modern energy ecosystem that offers:
Clean, consistent solar generation
Seamless energy storage and management
Aesthetic design that elevates the property
Built-in EV charging capabilities
Long-term adaptability for changing needs
And we did it all without compromising design, reliability, or environmental harmony.
The System at a Glance
Here's what went into making this home a next-generation energy powerhouse:
19 Jinko 425W All-Black Solar Panels
High-efficiency panels deliver excellent year-round performance and complement the property's style with a clean, uniform look.
Sigenergy SigenStor Modular Energy System
A five-in-one, all-in-one solution that combines solar energy storage, load management, EV charging, grid support, and backup power in a single smart unit.
Van der Valk Mounting System
Trusted for its durability and adaptability, it allows a secure, low-profile fit — even on detached garages or uniquely shaped roofs.
Bird-Blocking Mesh
This small but important addition prevents nesting and debris, protecting the system and local wildlife for years to come.
Sleek and Powerful: Jinko Solar Panels
The 19 all-black Jinko 425W panels were selected for their performance, aesthetics, and reliability. Their N-type monocrystalline cell technology means they perform well even in low-light conditions, which is especially valuable in the UK's variable climate.
Their sleek appearance ensures they integrate smoothly with the roofline, delivering a subtle but powerful visual impact — proof that sustainability can be stylish.

One System, Infinite Possibilities: Sigenergy SigenStor
At the centre of it all is the SigenStor — a cutting-edge, modular storage system from Sigenergy. Designed to handle the entire energy cycle from generation to usage, this unit combines five essential components in one beautifully compact setup.
What makes it unique?
Energy generation and storage in one system
Built-in EV charger, ready for the next step in mobility
Smart energy management with real-time monitoring
Modular design for future scalability
Reliable backup during outages
The homeowner can now monitor usage, track savings, and optimise energy flows from their smartphone or tablet — no fuss, just full control.
Built to Last, Engineered for Peace of Mind
We chose the Van der Valk mounting system not just for its strength but for its flexibility. It's especially well-suited to custom setups like detached buildings or multi-surface roofs. Its precision-engineered components keep the panels secure and well-ventilated, extending their lifespan and ensuring top-tier performance over time.
With the addition of bird-blocking mesh, this system is protected against some of the most common long-term risks, like nesting and airflow disruption. It's a simple solution that adds long-lasting value.
Real-Time Insights, Real-Life Benefits
One of the most exciting parts of this installation is what the homeowner can't see — the intelligent software running in the background.
With Sigenergy's smart monitoring tools, they now have full visibility into their energy consumption and generation. They can:
Track how much solar energy is being produced and stored
Monitor energy usage by time of day
View cost savings and battery status instantly
Stay ready for seasonal changes or outages
This kind of data isn't just interesting—it's empowering. It helps homeowners make smarter decisions, get the most out of their systems, and feel confident about their investments.
A Greener, Smarter Way to Live
Ultimately, this project is about more than solar panels or battery specs. It's about giving homeowners freedom from rising energy costs, fossil fuels, and outdated infrastructure.
With a clean, connected system designed for modern life, this home is ready for whatever the future brings — whether that's an EV in the driveway, new energy tariffs, or simply a desire to live more sustainably.
At Now EV, we're proud to create systems that do more than meet today's needs. They inspire what's possible tomorrow.
