Merry Christmas from Peak: Ending the Year with a Stunning 5kW In-Roof Solar Installation in Dorset

As the year draws to a close and the festive season arrives, the Peak team has wrapped up one final project before taking a well-earned breather. And what better way to finish the year than with a beautifully executed 5kW GSE in-roof solar PV installation in the picturesque village of Worth Matravers, Dorset?

This project brings together modern renewable technology, sleek architectural integration, and high-performance energy storage—creating a complete, future-proofed renewable solution for the homeowner. It also marks the end of our busiest and most successful year to date, thanks to the continued support of our fantastic customers.

Below, we take you through the final installation of our 2024 pipeline, the technology we used, and why in-roof systems continue to grow in popularity.

A Seamless Finish with GSE In-Roof Solar Panels

For this property, the customer wanted a solar installation that delivered strong energy generation without compromising the home’s aesthetic. That made the GSE in-roof mounting system the perfect choice.

Unlike traditional on-roof panels, in-roof systems sit flush with the roof surface, effectively replacing a section of tiles. This offers:

• A sleek, integrated appearance
• Improved weatherproofing
• Reduced wind uplift
• A more architectural finish
• Great suitability for new builds, re-roofs, and premium installations

Our team installed a 5kW array, perfectly positioned to capture the best of the Dorset sunshine. The result is a system that blends beautifully into the property while providing clean, free renewable energy all year round.

Harnessing Power Smarter: Sigenergy Hybrid Inverter

To support the PV array, we installed a Sigenergy hybrid inverter—a smart, flexible solution designed to tie together solar generation, battery storage, and EV charging.

Hybrid inverters are fast becoming the backbone of modern renewable systems because they allow the customer to:

• Send solar energy directly into the home
• Store excess energy for later use
• Seamlessly draw from the grid when needed
• Prioritise cost savings or backup power
• Integrate EV charging and smart loads

The Sigenergy range is one of the most advanced on the market, giving the homeowner a robust, future-ready control system at the heart of their setup.

20kWh of Stackable Battery Storage

To further maximise energy independence, we paired the system with 20kWh of Sigenergy stackable battery storage. This significantly increases the homeowner’s ability to make use of their solar energy around the clock—or even during a power cut.

The benefits of this kind of storage include:

• Reduced reliance on the grid
• Greater protection from rising energy prices
• Backup power during outages
• Higher self-consumption of generated solar energy
• Flexible expansion if energy usage grows

For properties with EVs, heat pumps, or high evening consumption, 20kWh of storage is a powerful and forward-thinking choice.

Charging Ahead: 7kW Sigenergy EV Charger Installed

To complete the installation, we fitted a 7kW Sigenergy EV charger, fully integrated with the hybrid inverter and battery system.

This means the customer can:

• Charge their electric vehicle using solar energy
• Use stored battery power for off-peak charging
• Optimise energy flows automatically
• Reduce overall running costs
• Rely less on grid electricity

With EV ownership rising rapidly across Dorset and the wider UK, solar-powered EV charging is becoming one of the most impactful upgrades homeowners can invest in.

A Perfect Project to End Our Best Year Yet

Looking back, this installation feels symbolic of the year we’ve had. It brings together craftsmanship, renewable innovation, customer care, and a passion for delivering high-quality energy solutions.

We’re proud to say that this has been our best year yet, and that’s entirely down to the support of the customers, homeowners, businesses, and partners who chose Peak for their solar and renewable needs. Whether it’s a small residential system or a complex energy storage installation, every project has played a part in shaping our growth.

To all our brilliant customers: thank you. Your trust in us makes what we do not just possible, but rewarding.

Looking Forward to 2025: Exciting Projects Ahead

While we’re taking a short break over Christmas, the wheels are already turning for next year. We have some exciting installations, technologies, and renewable upgrades planned for 2025, and we can’t wait to share them.

From advanced battery systems to larger-scale solar arrays, EV infrastructure and innovative in-roof designs, the future of renewable energy is bright—and we’re proud to be part of it.

Merry Christmas from the Peak Team

As we close out the year, we want to wish all our customers, partners, and supporters a very Merry Christmas and a joyful New Year.

Thank you for helping us make this year our strongest yet.
We’ll be back in January with fresh energy and some exceptional projects lined up.

Big love from the Peak group!
