Case Study: Solar & Battery Installation – Swallowfield, Berkshire
Project Overview
TEMS Solar completed a residential solar and battery installation in Swallowfield, Berkshire. The system was designed to provide efficient 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 6.02kWp using 13 Jinko 430W modules. The solar array was designed to make effective use of the available roof space while providing reliable renewable energy generation throughout the day.
A Fox 5kW hybrid inverter manages the system, integrating solar generation with battery storage. The system is paired with a Fox ECS 8.6kWh battery, allowing surplus solar energy generated during daylight hours to be stored and used during the evening or periods of lower solar output.
Installation Highlights
The combination of a 6.02kWp solar array and substantial 8.6kWh battery capacity provides a well-balanced renewable energy solution. The increased battery storage allows the homeowner to retain more of their solar generation for later use, improving overall self-consumption.
Results & Benefits
The installation provides the homeowner with:
Efficient renewable energy generation
Increased self-consumption through enhanced battery storage
Reduced reliance on grid electricity
Greater energy flexibility throughout the day
Potential reductions in household electricity costs
Conclusion
This installation demonstrates how combining a well-sized solar PV system with enhanced battery storage can deliver meaningful energy and cost-saving benefits. TEMS Solar provided a practical solution designed to maximise renewable energy use, efficiency, and long-term household energy independence.
