At Solargain, we pride ourselves on delivering top-quality solar energy solutions. This case study highlights a challenging installation for a home renovation project aimed at introducing home automation powered by solar energy

Our customers' brief was to power their entire home and electric vehicle using solar energy for their family of five. Working from home made energy efficiency even more crucial.

This case study highlights the remarkable transformation in energy efficiency and sustainability achieved through Solargain's expertise and the advanced technology of Fronius and their European product ecosystem.

The Project Outcome

Were we successful in achieving the customers' brief?

The installed system has made the household 96.6% self-sufficient, even with the customer working from home, resulting in significant energy savings. We recommended the Fronius ecosystem because the customer's renovation and home automation plans required a robust system. Fronius could deliver the necessary system size, with the added benefit of backward compatibility for future Fronius appliances.
