Combining solar PV with a heat pump for maximum savings

A pioneering project in North-East Wales marks the first time SOLARWATT Home and STIEBEL ELTRON technologies have been fully integrated in a UK home—delivering a seamless, intelligent solution for clean power generation, storage, and heating.

This milestone showcases how premium European technologies, when combined, can dramatically advance the UK’s path toward sustainable living and energy independence.

The technology behind the system

The home energy system features:

• 20 x SOLARWATT Panel vision M 5.0 black glass-glass modules (9kWp total)
• SOLARWATT Inverter vision (6 kW) single-phase inverter
• SOLARWATT Battery vision (10.4 kWh)
• STIEBEL ELTRON WPL-A-07 HK 230 Premium Air Source Heat Pump

These components are integrated using the SOLARWATT Manager and STIEBEL ELTRON’s EM Trend software, communicating via the Internet Service Gateway (ISG). The result: real-time coordination of electricity generation, battery usage, and heating demand—maximising energy efficiency and comfort.

Delivered with expertise

Installation was led by Genfit, a specialist in residential and commercial solar systems for over 20 years. Their end-to-end project management ensured a smooth deployment, from system design to commissioning—backed by deep knowledge of both solar and smart energy technologies.

Their commitment to “making energy simple” ensured the homeowner received tailored advice, reliable products, and long-term support for their investment.

The Result: A smart, low-carbon SOLARWATT Home

Now live, the system is powering the home with clean energy and heating it with precision. The homeowner has full visibility through the SOLARWATT Manager portal—tracking solar output, battery charge levels, and heat pump performance in real time.

This integration marks a step-change in what homeowners can expect from a modern energy system: clean, efficient, connected—and built to last.
