Powering a Home in Shaftesbury with Solar, Battery Storage, and EV Charging
Client: Residential homeowner in Shaftesbury
Services Delivered: Solar PV installation, battery storage system, EV charger installation
Installer: SESC Solutions
A homeowner in Shaftesbury wanted to cut rising energy bills, reduce reliance on the grid, and prepare their property for a more electric-focused future. SESC Solutions designed and installed a complete renewable energy setup that combined high-efficiency solar panels, a smart battery storage system, and an integrated EV charger.
The result is a home that can generate, store, and use its own clean energy around the clock.
Project Goals
The customer came to SESC Solutions with three clear aims:
- Lower monthly energy bills through self-generated power.
- Improve energy independence, especially during peak-rate hours.
- Add an EV charging solution that would use as much solar power as possible.
To meet these goals, SESC delivered a system that works as one complete unit: solar panels to generate power, a battery to store it, and an EV charger to make daily life more convenient.
What We Installed
1. Rooftop Solar Array
SESC fitted a set of high-efficiency solar modules positioned for year-round generation. The array was sized to match the homeowner’s energy profile, ensuring they could make the most of their roof space.
2. Smart Battery Storage System
A home battery was added to capture excess solar production during the day. Instead of exporting unused energy to the grid, the stored power now covers evening use and peak-time demand. This boosts self-consumption and smooths out energy costs.
3. Fully Integrated EV Charger
The EV charger was installed with a clean, minimal setup and linked to the home’s solar-battery system. When conditions allow, the homeowner can charge their car using their own solar energy rather than grid power, bringing long-term savings.

The video walkthrough shows:

This combination gives the customer predictable running costs, lower electricity bills, and the confidence that their home is ready for future energy needs.
Results
- Significantly reduced grid usage during both day and night.
