System Overview

A Bracknell homeowner opted for a domestic solar PV system with integrated battery storage to reduce electricity bills and increase energy independence. The system is designed to maximise self-consumption while providing reliable clean energy throughout the day and evening.

• Solar PV Capacity: 6.53 kWp
• Panels Installed: 15 × Jinko 435W modules
• Inverter: Fox ESS Hybrid H1-G2 6.0kW HV Single Phase Inverter Charger
• Battery Storage: Fox ESS 5.76 kWh

Installation Details

The system utilises 15 high-efficiency panels across 3 different roof faces - featuring  Tigo optimisers to maintain high efficiency even when the panels see varying amounts of sunlight or when shaded by chimneys. A 6.0kW hybrid inverter intelligently manages energy between solar production, battery storage, and grid supply. The 5.76 kWh battery allows surplus daytime solar energy to be stored for use during the evening, improving self-consumption and reducing grid dependency.

Performance & Benefits

• Lower Energy Bills: By using stored solar energy in the evenings, the household reduces grid electricity consumption.
• Energy Independence: The system supports self-sufficiency, especially during peak usage hours.
• Optimised Self-Consumption: Excess generation is stored rather than wasted, maximising the system’s value.
• Sustainable Energy: Clean solar generation contributes to lower household carbon emissions.

Outcome

This Bracknell installation demonstrates how a mid-sized solar PV system with integrated battery storage can provide meaningful financial and environmental benefits. The homeowner now enjoys reduced energy costs, greater control over energy use, and a greener, more sustainable home energy solution.
