What We Like About the SolaX Setup ⚡
This was our first project using SolaX hybrid inverters and batteries, and after a short learning curve, we were impressed.
Here’s why SolaX is a solid choice:
- Handles oversized PV input – meaning you can install more panels than the inverter’s nominal rating, squeezing more generation out of your roof.
- Super quick EPS (Emergency Power Supply) switchover – acts like a mini UPS, keeping essential circuits live in a power cut.
- Smart cloud monitoring – the homeowner can track production, usage, and battery levels in real-time from their phone.
✅ Fully Certified & Backed by Warranty
As with all our projects, this system was delivered with:
- Full MCS Certification – ensuring the installation meets strict UK safety and performance standards.
- Manufacturer Warranties – 25 years on Jinko panels, plus strong cover on the SolaX battery and inverter.
- QWAN (Qualitymark Protection Warranty Administration) – giving the homeowner:
- A workmanship warranty.
- Deposit protection (where applicable).
- Insurance-backed cover for long-term peace of mind.
