Case Study: Solar & Battery Installation – Reading, Berkshire
Project Overview
TEMS Solar completed a residential solar and battery installation in Reading, Berkshire. The system was designed to provide efficient renewable energy generation while incorporating battery storage to help the homeowner maximise self-consumption and reduce reliance on grid electricity.
System Design & Specifications
The installation provides a total solar PV capacity of 3.44kWp using 8 JINKO 430W modules. The panel layout was designed to make effective use of the available roof space, providing reliable solar generation from a compact and efficient array.
A Fox H1 3.0kW hybrid inverter manages the system, seamlessly integrating solar production with battery storage. The Fox ECS 5.8kWh high-voltage battery stores excess 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 compact solar array with integrated battery storage. The system provides an efficient solution for increasing renewable energy usage within the home while maintaining a practical and space-conscious design.
Results & Benefits
The installation provides the homeowner with:
Efficient solar energy generation from a compact system
Increased self-consumption through integrated battery storage
Reduced electricity bills and lower reliance on the grid
Optimised use of available roof space
Smart energy management with hybrid inverter technology
Conclusion
This project demonstrates how smaller solar installations can still provide meaningful energy and cost-saving benefits when paired with battery storage. TEMS Solar delivered a tailored solution focused on efficiency, reliability, and long-term household energy savings.
