Residential Project 10 kW

Project Background

A residential homeowner in Salgótarján, Hungary, faced rising energy costs and the conclusion of the net metering scheme in 2022. Seeking energy independence and sustainability, the client collaborated with Manitu Solar Kivitelező Kft. to install a rooftop solar energy system. Manitu Solar Kivitelező Kft., with 15 years of expertise, has been a reliable partner in advancing solar installations across Hungary.

The Need for Photovoltaic Products

The homeowner’s goals included:

• Reducing energy bills.
• Decreasing carbon footprint.
• Increasing energy independence to protect against rising electricity prices.

Choosing LONGi Hi-MO X6 HTH Panels

LONGi’s Hi-MO X6 Explorer 575Wp panels were selected for their durability, efficiency, and adaptability to Hungary’s diverse weather conditions. Paired with a Fronius Symo GEN24 10.0 Plus hybrid inverter, the system was designed to maximize energy capture and future-proof the home for potential energy storage upgrades.

Results and Achievements

The installation of the 10 kW rooftop solar system has provided:

• Energy Output: An expected annual energy production of 17 MWh.
• Economic Savings: Up to 3,000 EUR saved annually on energy bills.
• Environmental Impact: A significant reduction in carbon emissions.
• System Reliability: The setup has performed consistently across varied weather conditions.

Unique Aspects of the Project

The client’s concerns about achieving economic benefits and the lack of an immediate energy storage system were addressed through:

• Optimized panel placement for maximum energy efficiency.
• The selection of LONGi’s reliable, high-performance modules.
• A hybrid inverter, enabling future energy storage capabilities.

Challenges and Solutions

Despite the scale of the project, the installation proceeded smoothly, with no significant challenges reported. The collaboration between Solar Group Romania, Agrofrosta, and LONGi ensured a seamless process from start to finish.

Impact and Significance

This project serves as a benchmark for residential solar energy in Hungary, demonstrating:

• Short-Term Benefits: Immediate energy savings and reduced carbon footprint.
• Long-Term Benefits: A 6-year payback period, continued cost savings, and increased property value.
• Environmental Responsibility: Promoting renewable energy adoption in the region.
