An 11kV connected project. Knights Electrical substation and 3 off Huawei 330KTL inverters and RISEN 705Wp bi-facial modules mounted on a Venture Steels driven pile structure.

An 11kV connected project with 600m of underground cable to connect to the grid supply point. Knights Electrical substation and 4 off Huawei 330KTL inverters and RISEN 705Wp bi-facial modules mounted on a Venture Steels driven pile structure.
A significant, 33kV connected, utility scale solar PV project on complex topographical terrain, including National Grid compliant track build, 33kV brick built substation, and two further customer substations.
Designed with assistance from Virto CAD and utilising 18 x Sungrow 350HX inverters, and MVS6400 Sungrow containerised substation, Intake Sub with 33kV customer switch, control and monitoring by DNV.


Using AI algorithms, the system predicts household energy needs and optimizes when to use, store, or export power, based on Octopus Flux’s variable tariffs and real-time electricity prices. This intelligent setup helps households prioritize self-consumption, reduce grid dependency, and benefit from lower rates during peak production. Additionally, the AI can interface with smart home devices to align energy usage with times of high solar output, ensuring energy is used most cost-effectively throughout the day.






"We are delighted that 8 Minute Energy developed our solar system earlier this year. From day one they made sure we were making informed decisions and that the installation was suitable for our business needs.
8 minute gave us the confidence that they were not just installers but were keen to understand what our aims were. They helped us throughout the process making sure we understood what was going on and making sure we understood the detailed technical aspects of the project too
There seems to be a great deal more than just an installation as the systems are more sophisticated these days and 8Min Energy have been with us along this journey to establish the most efficient use of our solar electricity production."






After fantastic reviews from my local community I enlisted the services of 8 Minute Energy to undertake the installation of a set of batteries to store the electricity produced by my existing solar array. They identified that I could increase the number of panels on my roof by 5.1kWp meaning the batteries could be charged faster. The installation of two inverters, the extra panels, the 13.5 kWh batteries and a Bi-Directional meter was hassle free and quick. The ongoing assistance since installation in providing all the documentation required for my energy supplier and all the question answering has been handled efficiently resulting in the whole project being seamless. I can’t recommend 8 Minute Energy enough.



‘ We used 8 MINUTE ENERGY to install ground solar panels for our home use on the recommendation of a friend involved in renewables; we were impressed with their presentation , installation & follow-up as well as their pricing . A job well done ‘
