Multi-Aspect Solar & Battery Installation – Croft, Leicestershire
Project Overview
TEMS Solar completed a residential solar and battery installation in Croft, Leicestershire. The system was designed to generate renewable electricity across a shallow-pitched roof with northeast and southwest-facing aspects, combining a substantial solar array with battery storage to improve self-consumption and reduce reliance on grid electricity.
System Design & Specifications
The installation delivers a total solar PV capacity of 7.47kWp using 18 TRINA SOLAR 415W modules. The panels were installed across the northeast and southwest-facing roof sections, making effective use of the available space and capturing sunlight at different times of the day.
A GivEnergy 5kW hybrid inverter manages the system, integrating solar generation with battery storage. The installation is paired with a GivEnergy 9.5kWh battery, allowing surplus electricity generated during daylight hours to be stored for use during the evening or when solar production is lower.
Installation Highlights
A key feature of this project is the bespoke panel layout across the shallow-pitched roof. The northeast and southwest orientations provide different generation profiles, while the integrated battery gives the homeowner greater flexibility to store surplus solar energy for later use.
Results & Benefits
The installation provides the homeowner with:
Solar generation across northeast and southwest-facing roof aspects
Increased potential for self-consumption through 9.5kWh battery storage
Reduced reliance on grid electricity
Efficient use of the available shallow-pitched roof space
Greater flexibility in household energy management
Conclusion
This project demonstrates how a carefully planned multi-aspect solar installation can make effective use of a shallow-pitched roof. TEMS Solar delivered a tailored solution combining TRINA SOLAR panels, GivEnergy hybrid inverter technology, and substantial battery storage to support renewable energy use and long-term household savings.
