No Other Installer Could Crack the Challenge – But Fusion Solar UK Did
David at Hoe Grange Holidays had already made impressive progress in reducing his carbon footprint, with 14kWp of solar and a 10kWp wind turbine on-site. However, his growing eco-accommodation business meant energy usage was highest when his existing systems couldn’t keep up – in the mornings and evenings, when guests were most active.
The real challenge? Multiple installers had tried and failed to help him expand. The DNO (National Grid) had already imposed generation limits on the property, rejecting any additional solar – and even battery storage – due to existing export constraints.
That’s when David turned to Fusion Solar UK.
Expert Engineering + DNO Collaboration = Green Light
With 14+ years’ experience handling complex solar projects across the UK, Fusion Solar UK stepped in to design a solution others said was impossible. We took over DNO negotiations and, after a series of technical submissions and discussions, secured approval by installing a custom protection relay system.
We delivered:
✅ A new 19.11kWp solar PV system
✅ A powerful 88kWh battery storage system
✅ Full integration with the existing 14kWp solar and 10kWp wind system
✅ Export limitation equipment to meet DNO requirements
Now, Hoe Grange Holidays captures and stores solar power during the day and uses it when it’s needed most, reducing grid reliance and supporting the site's low-carbon mission.
The Impact: Energy Independence and Long-Term Savings
David now enjoys:
16,346kWh additional renewable generation annually
Stored power for evening and early morning demand
£8,965 saved on electricity bills each year
Payback in under 5 years
8.5 tonnes of CO₂ avoided every year
Hoe Grange Holidays is now more resilient, greener, and better prepared for future energy challenges – all without compromising guest experience.
