What was their goal?

The site’s ageing electrical infrastructure, long cable runs between buildings, and reliance on legacy Feed‑in Tariff arrangements made it difficult to manage energy reliably during year‑round equestrian activity.

With a residential area also connected to the supply, maintaining stable power across both the stables and the home added further complexity. They required a modern, low‑carbon system that could stabilise supply, support daily operations, future‑proof the site, and support the energy supply for the residential property.

ZLC Energy were appointed to design and deliver a rooftop solar and battery‑storage solution tailored to the site’s load profile and long‑term sustainability goals. 

How did we help?

ZLC engineered and installed a 24.3 kWp rooftop solar PV system paired with a 32 kWh Solis IntelliHome battery platform delivered through two 16 kWh Solis IntelliHome units, and one of the first IntelliHome installations in the UK.

The system provides intelligent storage, load‑balancing, and advanced energy automation across the site, with smart‑management features that maximise self‑consumption, reduce grid reliance, and maintain stable power during peak operational periods.

To deliver the installation, ZLC upgraded the building’s electrical infrastructure to meet current regulations, established G100‑compliant metering over the long distance to the incoming supply, and ensured the existing Feed‑in Tariff remained fully protected. All structural assessments, electrical works, and approvals were completed with minimal disruption to daily equestrian activity.
