Case Study: Large South-Facing Solar & Battery Installation – Reading, Berkshire
Project Overview
TEMS Solar completed a large residential solar and battery installation in Reading, Berkshire. The system was designed to maximise renewable energy generation through a substantial south-facing solar array, while incorporating battery storage to improve self-consumption and reduce reliance on grid electricity.
System Design & Specifications
The installation provides a total solar PV capacity of 9.35kWp using 21 JINKO 445W modules. The panels were installed as a large south-facing array, providing excellent solar exposure and strong energy generation potential throughout the day.
A Fox H1 6.0kW hybrid inverter manages the system, efficiently 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 evenings or periods of lower solar output.
Installation Highlights
A key feature of this project is the large south-facing panel array, which maximises available roof space and takes advantage of an optimal solar orientation. The high-capacity system provides a strong foundation for renewable energy generation, while battery storage helps the homeowner make greater use of the electricity produced.
Results & Benefits
The installation provides the homeowner with:
High levels of solar generation from a south-facing roof
Increased self-consumption through integrated battery storage
Reduced electricity bills and lower reliance on the grid
Efficient use of available roof space
Smart energy management with hybrid inverter technology
Conclusion
This project demonstrates how a large, well-orientated solar array combined with battery storage can deliver significant energy and cost-saving benefits. TEMS Solar provided a tailored solution designed to maximise efficiency, reliability, and long-term energy performance.
