Case Study: Flat Roof Solar & Battery Installation – Maidenhead, Berkshire
Project Overview
TEMS Solar completed a residential solar and battery installation in Maidenhead, Berkshire. The project focused on utilising a flat garage roof to deliver efficient renewable energy generation, combined with battery storage to maximise energy independence and self-consumption.
System Design & Specifications
The system provides a total solar PV capacity of 4.35kWp, using 10 JINKO 435W modules. The panels were mounted on the property’s flat garage roof, allowing for an optimised tilt angle to improve solar exposure and overall system performance.
A Solis S5 EH1P6KL inverter manages energy conversion and integrates seamlessly with the battery storage system. The installation includes a PUREDRIVE 5kWh hybrid DC-coupled battery, enabling efficient storage of excess solar energy for use during evenings or periods of low generation. PUREDRIVE, a British manufacturer, adds a strong element of local engineering and reliability to the system.
Installation Highlights
A key feature of this installation is the flat roof mounting system. By installing panels on the garage roof with a tailored tilt, TEMS Solar ensured optimal solar capture despite the non-pitched surface. The integration of a DC-coupled battery system further enhances efficiency by reducing energy conversion losses.
Results & Benefits
The installation provides the homeowner with:
Efficient use of flat roof space for solar generation
Improved energy capture through optimised panel tilt
Increased self-consumption with integrated battery storage
Reduced electricity bills and lower dependence on the grid
Reliable storage supported by a British-made battery system
Conclusion
This project highlights how flat roof spaces can be effectively utilised for solar installations when combined with thoughtful design and quality components. TEMS Solar delivered a tailored solution that maximises performance, efficiency, and long-term energy savings.
