Location: Kettering, Northamptonshire
Installer: TEMS Solar
System Characteristics:
Solar PV Capacity: 7.47kWp
Panels Installed: 18x TRINA SOLAR 415W
Inverter: GivEnergy 5kW Hybrid Inverter
Battery Storage: GivEnergy 9.5kWh
Case Study: Solar & Battery Installation – Kettering, Northamptonshire
Project Overview
TEMS Solar completed a residential solar and battery installation in Kettering, Northamptonshire. The system was designed to provide strong renewable energy generation alongside battery storage, helping the homeowner maximise 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 array was designed to make effective use of the available roof space while providing reliable and consistent solar energy generation throughout the day.
A GivEnergy 5kW hybrid inverter manages the system, integrating solar generation with battery storage. The system is paired with a GivEnergy 9.5kWh battery, allowing surplus energy generated during daylight hours to be stored for use during the evening or periods of lower solar output.
Installation Highlights
The combination of a substantial solar array and high-capacity battery storage provides a well-balanced renewable energy solution. The 9.5kWh battery allows the homeowner to retain more of the energy generated on-site, increasing self-consumption and improving overall energy flexibility.
Results & Benefits
The installation provides the homeowner with:
Strong renewable energy generation from a 7.47kWp solar array
Increased self-consumption through high-capacity battery storage
Reduced electricity bills and lower reliance on the grid
Greater flexibility in household energy usage
Smart energy management with GivEnergy hybrid technology
Conclusion
This project demonstrates how combining a high-capacity solar PV system with substantial battery storage can deliver significant energy and cost-saving benefits. TEMS Solar provided a tailored solution focused on efficiency, reliability, and long-term household energy performance.
