Case Study: Solar & Battery Installation – Bedford, Bedfordshire
Project Overview
TEMS Solar completed a residential solar and battery installation in Bedford, Bedfordshire. The system was designed to deliver strong renewable energy generation alongside enhanced battery storage, helping the homeowner maximise self-consumption and reduce reliance on grid electricity.
System Design & Specifications
The installation provides a total solar PV capacity of 7.57kWp using 17 JINKO 445W modules. The panel layout was carefully designed to make efficient use of the available roof space, ensuring consistent and reliable energy generation throughout the day.
A Fox H1 6.0kW hybrid inverter manages the system, seamlessly integrating solar production with battery storage. The system is paired with a Fox ECS 11.6kWh high-voltage battery, allowing significant amounts of excess solar energy to be stored and used during the evening or periods of lower solar output.
Installation Highlights
A key feature of this installation is the combination of a substantial solar array with increased battery capacity. The larger battery system enables the homeowner to retain more of the energy generated on-site, improving overall system efficiency and enhancing energy independence.
Results & Benefits
The installation provides the homeowner with:
Strong and consistent solar energy generation
Increased self-consumption through enhanced battery storage
Reduced electricity bills and lower reliance on the grid
Greater energy flexibility and independence
Smart energy management with hybrid inverter technology
Conclusion
This project demonstrates the benefits of pairing a high-capacity solar array with increased battery storage. TEMS Solar delivered a tailored solution designed to maximise efficiency, reliability, and long-term energy savings while helping the homeowner achieve greater energy independence.
