From outdated gas boiler to complete energy independence in one seamless retrofit

Vista Way

Full Renewable Retrofit with Flat-Roof Solar, Battery Storage & Air Source Heat Pump – North Harrow Family Home

Location: North Harrow (Vista Way area)
Installed: Summer 2025 by SKV Renewables

In just a few days we transformed this existing family home with a full renewable energy system — solar PV on a flat roof, Pylontech battery storage, a Daikin air source heat pump, Cyclone Platinum hot water cylinder, and smart controls.

SKV Renewables handled everything from survey to final testing. The flat-roof solar, battery, and heat pump have transformed our home. Bills are way down and the house is noticeably warmer and quieter. Brilliant local team!

The result? Dramatically lower bills, far greater comfort, full use of 2026 grants, and a much greener, future-proof home.

Key Results

  • Excellent solar performance verified on-site with Megger PV210 tester (895–974 W/m² irradiance)
  • Full £7,500 Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant claimed
  • 0% VAT applied on solar & batteries
  • Self-consumption boosted to ~85% with battery storage
  • Significantly quieter and more efficient heating & hot water

What We Installed

Flat-Roof Solar PV Array High-efficiency panels professionally mounted on the flat roof using a non-penetrating ballasted system. Installed even in typical British summer rain — proving our ability to deliver on time whatever the weather.

Solis Hybrid Inverter + Pylontech Battery Storage Solis hybrid inverter with live monitoring screen paired with a Pylontech US5000 battery rack (three modules). This allows the home to store excess solar energy during the day and use it in the evenings, dramatically increasing self-consumption.

Daikin Air Source Heat Pump + Cyclone Platinum Cylinder Replaced the old gas boiler with a modern Daikin heat pump and a high-performance 300-litre Cyclone Platinum hot water cylinder. The system works efficiently with the existing radiators and delivers consistent warmth and hot water at a fraction of the previous cost.

Smart Controls & Professional Plant Room

  • Heatmiser UFH and zoning controls
  • Grundfos Home Booster pump
  • Fully insulated pipework, valves, and isolators for maximum efficiency
  • All components neatly integrated in a clean, professional plant room

Performance & Real-World Results

On handover day our engineers used a Megger PV210 tester to confirm outstanding solar performance even under typical UK conditions. The system is now delivering excellent daily generation and the homeowners are already seeing massive reductions in their electricity and heating bills.

The entire installation was completed with zero mess, minimal disruption, and full MCS accreditation — exactly what our North Harrow clients expect.
