Location: Reading, Berkshire
Installer: TEMS Solar
System Characteristics
Solar PV Capacity: 2.84kWp
Panels Installed: 7x JA SOLAR 405W
Inverter: Fox 3.0kw Hybrid Inverter
Battery Storage: Fox ECS 5.8kWh High Voltage Battery System
Case Study: Compact Solar & Battery Installation – Reading, Berkshire
Project Overview
TEMS Solar completed a compact residential solar and battery installation in Reading, Berkshire. The system was designed to provide efficient renewable energy generation for a smaller property, while still incorporating battery storage to maximise self-consumption and reduce reliance on grid electricity.
System Design & Specifications
The installation delivers a total solar PV capacity of 2.84kWp using 7 JA Solar 405W modules. Despite the smaller system size, the design ensures reliable energy generation by pairing with a battery system.
A Fox 3.0kW hybrid inverter manages solar production and integrates seamlessly with the battery storage system. The Fox ECS 5.8kWh high-voltage battery stores excess energy generated during the day, allowing it to be used during the evening or periods of lower solar output.
Installation Highlights
This project demonstrates how even smaller-scale systems can benefit from advanced energy management. The inclusion of a hybrid inverter and high-capacity battery allows the homeowner to maximise the value of the energy generated. A home battery system also allows the homeowner to make use of cheaper off-peak tariffs overnight to store energy for use during the day.
Results & Benefits
The installation provides the homeowner with:
Efficient renewable energy generation for a smaller property
Increased self-consumption through integrated battery storage
Reduced electricity bills and lower reliance on the grid
Smart energy management with hybrid inverter technology
Conclusion
This installation highlights the effectiveness of compact solar systems when paired with battery storage. TEMS Solar delivered a tailored solution that provides strong performance, improved energy independence, and long-term cost savings.
