Case Study: Bespoke Solar & High-Capacity Battery Installation – Reading, Berkshire
Project Overview
On completion, TEMS Solar delivered a bespoke residential solar and battery installation in Reading, a major Thames Valley hub where homeowners are increasingly investing in smart energy solutions. The project focused on overcoming a complex roof structure while maximising solar generation and storage capacity.
System Design & Specifications
The installation delivers a total solar PV capacity of 6.53kWp, using 15 × Jinko 435W Solar Panels. Due to the property’s hipped roof design with multiple dormers, a tailored panel layout was required to make full use of the available roof space.
A Fox ESS 6kW Hybrid Inverter manages energy generation and distribution, paired with a Fox ESS ECS 14.4kWh High Voltage Battery. The large-capacity battery enables significant energy storage, supporting both daily usage and greater flexibility in energy management.
Installation Highlights
This project showcases a bespoke design approach, carefully positioning panels around multiple dormers and roof angles to ensure maximum coverage without compromising performance.
The combination of a larger PV system with a high-capacity battery allows the homeowner to store substantial amounts of energy, improving self-consumption and enabling smarter use of electricity throughout the day and night.
Results & Benefits
The completed installation provides the homeowner with:
Strong solar generation despite complex roof geometry
Reduced electricity bills and carbon emissions
High-capacity battery storage for enhanced flexibility
Increased energy independence from the grid
Conclusion
This installation demonstrates how thoughtful design and careful planning can unlock the full potential of even the most complex roof structures. TEMS Solar delivered a tailored solution that maximises both generation and storage, supporting long-term energy efficiency and sustainability for homes in Reading.
