Case Study: High-Capacity Solar & Battery Installation – Reading, Berkshire
Project Overview
TEMS Solar completed a high-capacity residential solar and battery installation in Reading, Berkshire. The system was designed to provide substantial renewable energy generation while incorporating battery storage to maximise self-consumption and improve household energy independence.
System Design & Specifications
The installation delivers a total solar PV capacity of 9.14kWp using 21 JINKO 435W modules. The large solar array was designed to make efficient use of the available roof space, providing strong and consistent energy generation throughout the day.
A Fox H1 6.0kW hybrid inverter manages the system, seamlessly integrating solar production with battery storage. The Fox ECS 8.6kWh high-voltage battery stores surplus energy generated during daylight hours, allowing it to be used during the evening or periods of lower solar output.
Installation Highlights
A key feature of this project is the combination of a large solar array with enhanced battery storage. The system provides a strong balance between generation capacity and energy storage, allowing the homeowner to utilise more of their own renewable energy and reduce dependence on the grid.
Results & Benefits
The installation provides the homeowner with:
High-capacity solar generation for increased renewable energy production
Improved self-consumption through integrated 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 large solar PV system with battery storage to create a more efficient and self-sufficient home energy solution. TEMS Solar delivered a tailored installation focused on performance, reliability, and long-term energy savings.
