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 deliver efficient renewable energy generation from a south-facing roof, while integrating battery storage to maximise self-consumption and reduce reliance on grid electricity.
System Design & Specifications
The installation provides a total solar PV capacity of 4.35kWp using 10 JINKO 435W modules. The south-facing roof orientation ensures strong solar exposure throughout the day, supporting consistent and reliable energy production.
A Fox 3.7kW hybrid inverter manages the system, seamlessly integrating solar generation with battery storage. The Fox ECS 5.8kWh high-voltage battery system 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 south-facing roof installation, which provides optimal conditions for solar generation. This allows the system to achieve strong performance despite its compact size.
Results & Benefits
The installation provides the homeowner with:
Strong and consistent solar generation from a south-facing roof
Increased self-consumption through integrated battery storage
Reduced electricity bills and lower reliance on the grid
Efficient performance from a compact system design
Smart energy management with hybrid inverter technology
Conclusion
This project demonstrates how even smaller solar systems can deliver excellent performance when installed on well-oriented roofs. TEMS Solar provided a tailored solution focused on efficiency, reliability, and long-term energy savings.
