Recent Solar, Tesla Powerwall & EV Charger Installation in Dunblane
A recent solar PV and battery storage installation completed by our team at a property in Dunblane.
The property was fitted with a 2.44 kWp solar PV system using four 610W solar panels, alongside a Tesla Powerwall 3 with 13.5 kWh of battery storage.
Installed on a south-west-facing natural slate roof, the system was designed to generate electricity during the day, store surplus energy for later use and work alongside the property's EV charging setup.

Estimated to generate around 1,874 kWh per year
Based on the system design and performance modelling, the 2.44 kWp solar array was estimated to generate approximately 1,874 kWh of electricity per year.
Estimated performance will vary depending on weather, shading, household energy use and other site conditions.
Designed around the property
Every solar installation is different. For this Dunblane property, the available roof space suited a compact array using high-output panels to make the most of the space available.
The solar PV system was combined with a 13.5 kWh Tesla Powerwall 3, allowing electricity generated during the day to be stored and used later when the panels are producing less. You can read more about battery storage in Dunblane if that is the part you are weighing up.
The completed home-energy setup also works alongside the property's Ohme EV charger, bringing solar generation, battery storage and EV charging together at the same property.
Solar and battery storage for a traditional Dunblane property
This project is a good example of how solar PV and battery storage can be fitted to an existing property without needing a huge roof area.
Using high-output panels alongside the Tesla Powerwall 3 let the system combine daytime solar generation with substantial battery storage, giving the homeowner more flexibility over when the electricity generated by the system actually gets used.
