Inverter: Fox 6Kw Hybrid Inverter
Battery Storage: Fox ECS 5.8kW High Voltage Battery System
Case Study: Multi-Aspect Solar & Battery Installation – Reading, Berkshire
Project Overview
TEMS Solar completed a residential solar and battery installation in Reading, Berkshire. The system was designed to maximise renewable energy generation across multiple roof aspects, while carefully working around existing roof features to optimise the available installation space.
System Design & Specifications
The installation delivers a total solar PV capacity of 9.40kWp using 17 JINKO 435W modules. The panels were strategically installed across east and west-facing roof sections, creating a balanced generation profile that captures sunlight from morning through to evening.
A Fox 6kW hybrid inverter manages the system, seamlessly integrating solar production with battery storage. The Fox ECS 5.8kWh high-voltage battery system stores excess energy generated during the day, allowing it to be used during evenings or periods of reduced solar output.
Installation Highlights
A key feature of this project is the bespoke panel arrangement around existing dormer windows. Careful planning and positioning enabled TEMS Solar to maximise the number of panels installed while maintaining a clean and practical roof layout. The east and west-facing configuration also helps extend energy generation across more hours of the day.
Results & Benefits
The installation provides the homeowner with:
Extended solar generation from morning through to evening
Increased self-consumption through integrated battery storage
Reduced electricity bills and lower reliance on the grid
Optimised use of roof space around dormer windows
Smart energy management with hybrid inverter technology
Conclusion
This project demonstrates how thoughtful system design can overcome architectural challenges while maximising solar performance. TEMS Solar delivered a tailored solution focused on efficiency, practicality, and long-term energy savings.
