Case Study: Solar & Battery Installation – Tonbridge, Kent
Project Overview
TEMS Solar completed a residential solar and battery installation in Tonbridge, Kent. 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 3.44kWp using 8 JINKO 430W modules. The compact solar array was designed to make effective use of the available roof space while providing reliable renewable energy generation.
A Fox H1 3.0kW hybrid inverter manages the system, seamlessly integrating solar production with battery storage. The Fox ECS 5.8kWh high-voltage battery stores surplus energy generated during daylight hours, allowing it to be used during the evening or periods of lower solar output.
Installation Highlights
The combination of a compact solar array, hybrid inverter and battery storage provides a practical and efficient home energy solution. Battery storage enables the homeowner to retain more of the electricity generated on-site and use it when solar production is lower.
Results & Benefits
The installation provides the homeowner with:
Efficient renewable energy generation from a compact solar array
Increased self-consumption through integrated battery storage
Reduced electricity bills and lower reliance on the grid
Greater flexibility in household energy usage
Smart energy management with hybrid inverter technology
Conclusion
This installation demonstrates how a compact solar PV system can deliver meaningful energy and cost-saving benefits when combined with battery storage. TEMS Solar provided a tailored solution focused on efficiency, reliability, and long-term household energy performance.
