CASE STudy: Setting the EPC A Benchmark – Turnkey Solar & Electrical Solutions for Starship Group
Explore how Eltom Solar delivered a complete solar PV and electrical installation solution for a modular housing development at Brook Street, Birkenhead.
This award-winning project was featured on Channel 4’s ‘A House with No Bills’ with Guy Martin.

Award-Winning

9,190kg of CO2 per year saved

4,898.75 kWh output Per Home

Delivering EPC A-Rated, Award-Winning Energy Independence at Brook StreeT

Working with Starship Group, Eltom designed and installed solar PV systems across eight EPC A-rated homes, alongside full electrical installations including power, lighting, heating, ventilation and EV charging. This turnkey approach ensured smooth delivery in line with a fast-paced modular construction programme.
The systems generate significant renewable energy, with surplus exported to the National Grid—reducing carbon emissions and supporting energy-neutral living.
Part of a £1.9m regeneration project for Magenta Living, the award-winning development demonstrates how solar and modern construction can work together to deliver low-carbon, high-performance homes.

A Full Turnkey Solution for Modular Housing

An end to end, fully project managed solution 

Eltom Solar provided end-to-end support throughout the installation process.

This began with a detailed site survey, using build plans ahead of construction, followed by system design and a clear presentation to the client.

Installation was carefully aligned with the construction schedule, with the flexibility to adapt to any delays or project changes. As the modular homes were assembled on-site, the solar systems were installed in parallel.

Alongside the solar PV systems, Eltom also delivered full electrical installations across all homes, including power, lighting, heating and ventilation systems, as well as EV chargers.

System Highlights
  • Solar Panels: Nine high-efficiency monocrystalline solar panels per home.
  • System Design Each property includes its own independent inverter, allowing residents to manage their own clean electricity generation.
  • Bill-Free Living
    When combined with other energy-saving measures, including heat pumps and high-
    efficiency insulation, the new homes are expected to enable residents to live without energy
    bills, contributing only towards equipment maintenance costs.
  • Industry Recognition Award-Winning Project: The scheme won Best Small New Home Development at the YM Liverpool Awards.
