Solar Panels LiFePO4 Battery Hybrid Inverter EV Charger

Domestic Solar

SBFC supplies photovoltaic kits for residential use, including panels, battery storage, and inverters. A documented home package — the SBFC 20 kW kit — combines these components for a complete domestic solar setup.

The kit includes components for EV home charging. SBFC can advise on configuration and installation options for your location.

Building-Integrated Photovoltaics — Solar Tile Bent

The Solar Tile Bent is a building-integrated photovoltaic product designed for roofs where conventional flat panels are not suitable. It takes the form of a traditional bent roof tile — and generates electricity from the same surface.

It is intended for historic buildings, complex roof geometries, and locations where the appearance of the roof must be preserved. The system operates at extra-low voltage (SELV) and includes shadow optimisation across the panel array.

1,400 m² Roof area — example install
18,000 Tiles — example install
144 kWp Capacity — example install
SELV Operating voltage class

Installation figures shown reflect a specific Solar Tile Bent project. The 125,000 kWh annual yield is for that example installation — not a general per-m² guarantee. Actual results depend on roof orientation, irradiance, and configuration.

Typical use cases

  • Heritage and listed buildings where panel aesthetics matter
  • Complex or curved roof geometries
  • Buildings in historic town centres
  • New builds requiring architectural integration

Agri-Photovoltaics

Agri-photovoltaics allows the same land to be used for both crop cultivation and solar energy generation — the panels are positioned above the crops rather than replacing them.

Light levels can be adjusted to suit specific crops, the system can power on-site agricultural equipment, and excess generation can be sold to the grid. It's a dual land-use approach — a route to more sustainable and profitable farming without taking land out of production.

🌱
For Farmers
  • Same land used for crops and solar
  • Light adjustable by crop type
  • Can reduce irrigation costs
  • Potential income from grid energy sales
Energy Side
  • Powers on-site farming equipment
  • Excess generation to the grid
  • Low ecological footprint
  • Reduces dependency on grid power

Actual outcomes depend on crop type, location, system scale, and local grid and regulatory conditions.

Solar-Powered EV Charging — No Grid Connection Required

The Solar Car-Charging Palm is a standalone structure incorporating solar panels, a battery, and an inverter. It charges electric vehicles and devices without a permanent grid connection.

Product Description

Each unit is a solar charging palm for electric and hybrid cars, equipped with 50 solar panels, batteries, and an inverter. It is available for installation in business areas, car parks, and public buildings.

Once installed, ongoing energy cost is effectively zero — generation comes from the on-board solar panels rather than a grid supply.

Key Characteristics

  • 50 integrated solar panels per unit
  • On-board battery storage and inverter
  • Charges EVs and devices independently of the grid
  • Suitable for car parks, industrial sites, public areas
  • Can be configured as single or double palm unit
