Project Overview
This recent installation in Rainow, Cheshire, showcases an innovative approach to Solar PV, proving that renewable energy isn’t limited to rooftops.
Our customer had already made full use of the available roof space with an existing Solar PV system but wanted to generate even more renewable electricity. Rather than installing a conventional ground-mounted array, we designed and installed a bespoke solar fence using nine AIKO bifacial solar panels, fixed securely between purpose-installed concrete fence posts in place of traditional fence panels.



The use of AIKO bifacial panels makes this installation even more effective. As the panels generate electricity from both the front and rear surfaces, they can capture reflected light from the surrounding environment, helping to maximise energy production while creating a modern, functional boundary.
By transforming the property’s boundary into an energy-generating asset, we were able to significantly increase the home’s solar generation without taking up valuable garden space or altering the existing roof installation.
As every installation is different, this project required careful planning and precision engineering. New concrete fence posts were installed specifically for the project, providing a robust framework to support the nine solar panels while maintaining the strength and longevity expected of a boundary fence. A bespoke mounting solution was then used to secure each panel in place, with careful attention given to alignment, cable routing and finishing details to create a clean, contemporary appearance that complements the property’s rural surroundings.



The completed installation is both practical and visually striking, demonstrating how creative thinking can unlock additional renewable energy opportunities when conventional roof space has already reached its capacity.
The photographs show the completed solar fence installation, highlighting how the nine AIKO bifacial solar panels have been integrated between the purpose-installed concrete fence posts to create a functional boundary that also generates clean electricity. They showcase the quality of the workmanship, the precision of the installation and the unique design that makes this project one of our most innovative residential Solar PV installations to date.
