Solar Panel Installation in Sherborne
A 7.44kW solar and battery system installed for a Sherborne homeowner looking to cut energy bills and boost self-sufficiency
We recently completed a high-quality solar panel installation in Sherborne for a homeowner looking to cut their energy bills and reduce reliance on the grid. The client wanted a high-output, all-black solar PV system paired with battery storage to maximise self-consumption and get the most from the energy they generate.

About this Solar Panel Installation Project in Sherborne
Following a site survey and a detailed discussion around the property’s roof space and energy usage, we recommended a system using Aiko Neostar 465W mono all-black panels, paired with a Haier Smart Cube 5kW hybrid inverter and a Haier Smart Cube 5kWh battery. This combination delivers excellent efficiency, a clean, uniform appearance on the roof, and reliable energy storage for evening use.
We carried out the following works as part of this project:
- Erect scaffolding to the front elevation of the property – Ensuring safe and secure access throughout the installation.
- Supply and install 16 Aiko Neostar 465W mono all-black PV panels – Delivering a strong system output with a sleek, uniform finish.
- Supply and install on-roof mounting kit – Securing the panel array safely to the roof structure.
- Supply and install Haier Smart Cube 5kW hybrid inverter – Enabling seamless conversion and management of solar energy.
- Supply and install Haier Smart Cube 5kWh battery – Providing energy storage for use during evenings and peak tariff periods.
- Supply and install generation meter, switch gear and ancillaries – Ensuring full compliance and safe operation.
- Carry out all associated electrical installation – Professionally integrating the system into the home’s electrical setup.
- Commission the system and complete MCS registration – Ensuring the system is fully operational and eligible for incentives.
The finished system gives the homeowner a powerful 7.44kW solar array backed by reliable battery storage, allowing them to make far greater use of the energy they generate, reduce their electricity bills, and improve their overall energy independence.
This solar panel installation in Sherborne is a great example of how a high-output system can be installed cleanly and efficiently, delivering long-term financial and environmental benefits for the homeowner.
