Case Study: Bespoke Solar & Battery Installation – Reading, Berkshire

Project Overview
TEMS Solar completed a residential solar and battery installation in Reading, Berkshire. The project required a bespoke design to maximise renewable energy generation while working around existing roof features, ensuring the available roof space was utilised as efficiently as possible.

System Design & Specifications
The installation delivers a total solar PV capacity of 3.05kWp using 7 JINKO 435W modules. The panel layout was carefully designed to optimise placement and orientation around existing dormer windows and a chimney, enabling the homeowner to achieve the highest possible generation capacity from the available roof area.

A Fox H1 3.0kW hybrid inverter manages the system, seamlessly integrating solar production with battery storage. The system is paired with a Fox ECS 8.6kWh high-voltage battery, providing substantial energy storage capacity and allowing excess solar energy to be used during the evening or periods of lower solar output.

Installation Highlights
A key feature of this project is the bespoke panel arrangement around architectural obstacles. Careful planning and precise installation allowed TEMS Solar to maximise the system's performance despite the constraints posed by dormer windows and a chimney. The larger battery capacity further enhances energy independence by storing more of the energy generated.

Results & Benefits
The installation provides the homeowner with:

• Maximised solar generation despite roof obstructions

• Increased self-consumption through enhanced battery storage

• Reduced electricity bills and lower reliance on the grid

• Optimised use of available roof space around dormers and a chimney

• Greater energy flexibility and independence

Conclusion
This project demonstrates how thoughtful system design can overcome complex roof layouts and architectural challenges. TEMS Solar delivered a tailored solution that maximises performance, efficiency, and long-term energy savings while making the most of every available section of roof space.
