Location: Salisbury, Wiltshire
Installer: TEMS Solar
System Characteristics:
Solar PV Capacity: 7.06kWp
Panels Installed: 17x TRINA SOLAR 415W
Inverter: GivEnergy Hybrid HY 5.0kW
Battery Storage: GivEnergy 9.5kWh
Case Study: Multi-Aspect Solar & Battery Installation – Salisbury, Wiltshire
Project Overview
TEMS Solar completed a residential solar and battery installation in Salisbury, Wiltshire. The system was designed to maximise renewable energy generation across multiple roof aspects, while incorporating substantial battery storage to increase self-consumption and reduce reliance on grid electricity.
System Design & Specifications
The installation delivers a total solar PV capacity of 7.06kWp using 17 TRINA SOLAR 415W modules. The panels were strategically installed across the south, east, and west faces of a hipped roof, allowing the system to capture sunlight at different times of the day and make effective use of the available roof space.
A GivEnergy Hybrid HY 5.0kW 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
A key feature of this project is the three-aspect panel arrangement across the hipped roof. By utilising the south, east, and west-facing roof sections, TEMS Solar created a more balanced generation profile, extending the solar production window from morning through to evening.
Results & Benefits
The installation provides the homeowner with:
Extended solar generation across multiple roof aspects
Increased self-consumption through 9.5kWh battery storage
Reduced electricity bills and lower reliance on the grid
Optimised use of a hipped roof’s available space
Greater energy flexibility and independence
Conclusion
This project demonstrates how a carefully designed multi-aspect solar installation can maximise energy generation on a complex hipped roof. TEMS Solar delivered a tailored solution combining efficient solar technology and substantial battery storage to enhance performance, practicality, and long-term energy savings.
