Energy independence for a new-build home

When planning their new-build home, the homeowners wanted energy performance built in from the start.

Their goal was to generate more of their own electricity, store surplus energy and reduce reliance on imported power. Battery storage was central to that plan, helping them use more of the solar electricity produced at home.

aes renewables designed an integrated renewable energy system around the way the household uses energy every day.

The homeowners now have greater control over how and when they use the energy their home produces.

The Tesla Powerwall stores surplus solar electricity during the day, so it can be used later when demand is higher. This helps support evening energy use and electric vehicle charging.

The solar thermal system also provides renewable hot water, reducing the need to use imported energy for another part of daily life.

Solar PV, battery storage, solar thermal and EV charging help the household make better use of renewable energy produced on site.

By storing excess electricity and using it when it’s needed most, the homeowners can rely less on imported power. Because the technologies were designed together from the start, the system supports both daily comfort and long-term energy performance.

For this household, the aim was simple: a home that feels considered, capable and ready for the future.
