22-Panel AIKO All-Black
on a £3M Leeds Property

When Yorkshire's finest homes require solar, aesthetics are non-negotiable. This Roundhay installation shows what's possible when premium cell technology meets a conservation-area property — all-black panels, invisible from street level, generating over 9,400 kWh per year.

What Made This Project Special

An Installation Without Compromise

Premium properties demand premium execution. Here's what set this Leeds installation apart.

Kerb-Appeal First

AIKO All-Black panels — black frame, black cells, black backsheet — chosen specifically to blend into the dark slate roof. From street level, you would not know they were there.

Conservation Compliant

Located in one of Leeds' most sought-after residential areas. Our surveyors confirmed full compliance with local planning guidelines under permitted development rights.

Inverter Coordination

Working with the client's solar provider to release the hybrid inverter required coordination — resolved quickly through direct contact with the provider, demonstrating our end-to-end project management.

Future-Proof Technology

Sigenergy SigenStor with built-in bidirectional EV charging. Start at 20 kWh and expand in modular 5 kWh increments as the property's energy needs grow.

Single-Day Completion

The entire 22-panel installation — structural mounting, panel fixing, inverter wiring, battery installation, commissioning, and monitoring setup — completed in one day with minimal disruption.

82% Self-Sufficiency

With the 20 kWh Sigenergy battery capturing surplus daytime generation, the property now sources 82% of its electricity from solar — dramatically reducing its dependence on the grid.
