Solar panel installers Telford | Savings of over £1300

Rich. M approached SmartCTRL in early 2026 looking for a smarter, more cost

effective way to power his home. Like many other home owners, Rich had become concerned about rising electricity prices and wanted a solution that would improve his home's energy efficiency, and help save money.

From the start of the project, Rich was clear about his goals: lower energy bills,

increased energy independence, larger long-term savings.

Client Feedback & Ongoing Impact

Rich is extremely satisfied with both the system and the service provided by Smart CTRL. In fact, his experience has been so positive that he has already referred us to three other potential customers.

Understanding the Solar power requirements

During the initial consultation, the Smart CTRL team worked closely with Rich to

assess his property, his energy usage, and potential future needs.

Rather than offering a one-size-fits-all solution, we built a tailored system for his

home.

We also introduced additional features that would enhance the overall system,

including:

• Bird protection to maintain panel efficiency and longevity
• Remote monitoring by our team for real-time performance tracking and peace
• of mind
• Full home backup capability to protect against power outages

As well as this we recommended all-black Aiko solar panels, to ensure the panels

complemented the look of his home without compromising on efficiency.

This ensured Rich wasn’t just getting solar panels, he was investing in a long-term solution with ongoing monitoring for optimisation.

Solar Installation Telford: Our Process

The final system installed at Rich’s property included:

• 11 x 460w Aiko all black solar panels
• 6kw SigEnergy Inverter
• 2x SigEnergy 8kwh Batteries
• Gateway - Full home backup for power outages
• Bird protection
• 12 month remote monitoring by Smart CTRL

The installation was completed efficiently and with minimal disruption, ensuring Rich could begin benefiting from his new system as quickly as possible.

Since installation, Rich has already seen significant financial and practical benefits. 

The results? Rich has seen savings of over £1300 per year on energy bills.

He is now saving over £1,300 per year on his energy bills, with an estimated return on investment of approximately 7 years. Over the lifetime of the system, this is projected to deliver lifetime savings of more than £50,000.

In addition to the financial gains, Rich now benefits from greater energy independence and protection against rising electricity costs, something that continues to be a major concern for UK homeowners.
