Using the flat, concrete roof to our advantage we were able to install an almost hidden design. The system consists of twenty 360kW Sunpower solar panels, together with a a 7KW Fronius Symo inverter. As an added advantage Voltio ensured this equipment could integrate with a battery at a later date as well.
