Case Study: Solar & Battery Installation – Groby, Leicester
Project Overview
TEMS Solar completed a residential solar and battery installation in Groby, Leicester. 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 7.12kWp using 16 JINKO 445W modules. The array was designed to make effective use of the available roof space while providing reliable and consistent solar generation throughout the day.
A Fox 6kW hybrid inverter manages the system, seamlessly integrating solar production with battery storage. The Fox ECS 8.6kWh 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 substantial solar array and enhanced battery storage provides a well-balanced renewable energy solution. The larger battery capacity allows more of the electricity generated on-site to be retained for later use, improving overall energy efficiency.
Results & Benefits
The installation provides the homeowner with:
Strong and reliable solar energy generation
Increased self-consumption through integrated battery storage
Reduced electricity bills and lower reliance on the grid
Greater flexibility in household energy usage
Enhanced energy independence with hybrid inverter technology
Conclusion
This project demonstrates how combining a high-capacity solar PV array with battery storage can deliver significant energy and cost-saving benefits. TEMS Solar provided a tailored solution focused on efficiency, reliability, and long-term energy performance.
