Discreet Solar & Battery Installation – Selborne, Hampshire
Project Overview
TEMS Solar completed a residential solar and battery installation in Selborne, Hampshire. The system was carefully designed to provide substantial renewable energy generation while preserving the character and appearance of the property when viewed from the front of the house.
System Design & Specifications
The installation delivers a total solar PV capacity of 8.88kWp using 24 JA SOLAR 370W modules. The panels were fitted to the low-pitched roof of a rear extension, providing a substantial generation capacity while keeping the array discreet from the main view of the property.
A GivEnergy Hybrid HY 5.0kW inverter manages the system, integrating solar generation with battery storage. The system is paired with a GivEnergy GivBat 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 was the emphasis on maintaining the character of the property. Positioning the panels on the low-pitched rear extension roof allowed TEMS Solar to install a large solar array while keeping the panels less prominent when viewing the house.
Results & Benefits
The installation provides the homeowner with:
High-capacity renewable energy generation
Increased self-consumption through 9.5kWh battery storage
Reduced electricity bills and lower reliance on grid electricity
A discreet solar installation that complements the property's character
Efficient use of the rear extension roof space
Conclusion
This project demonstrates how careful solar panel positioning can balance energy performance with the visual character of a property. TEMS Solar delivered a high-capacity solar and battery solution that maximises renewable energy generation while maintaining a discreet appearance.
