Flat-Roof Solar PV + Daikin Air Source Heat Pump Retrofit – Princess Avenue, North West London
We transformed this existing family home with a high-performance flat-roof solar PV array and a powerful Daikin air source heat pump. The cluttered old utility space was cleared and upgraded into a professional plant room, while the flat roof now generates clean energy even on cloudy days.
The difference is night and day. SKV cleared the mess in the utility room and gave us a beautiful solar array on the flat roof plus a quiet, efficient heat pump. Bills are already dropping and the house feels so much more modern!
This Princess Avenue installation perfectly showcases what SKV Renewables specialises in: sensitive retrofits for typical North West London homes. Flat roofs, older utility spaces, and the desire for a clean, modern finish are all handled with the same care and expertise.
Flat-Roof Solar PV Array High-efficiency panels mounted on a non-penetrating ballasted system. The detailed aluminium rails, brackets and secure fixings ensure long-term stability and perfect alignment — even in North West London’s variable weather.
Daikin Air Source Heat Pump A sleek Daikin outdoor unit installed directly on the flat roof. The system is fully integrated with the existing radiators and delivers quiet, efficient heating and hot water year-round.
Professional Plant Room & Pipework The old cluttered utility room was completely cleared and upgraded. All new insulated pipework, valves, isolators (including the Danson IP65 4P63A switch), and controls are now neatly arranged for maximum efficiency and easy maintenance.
The solar array performs excellently even under typical UK skies, with clean, professional cable management and secure mounting visible in every detail. The Daikin heat pump provides reliable, low-carbon heating while the homeowners enjoy significantly lower bills and a much tidier plant room.
Every aspect was installed to MCS standards with full testing and documentation handed over on completion.
