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 favourable roof orientation, combined with enhanced battery storage to maximise self-consumption and reduce reliance on grid electricity.
System Design & Specifications
The installation provides a total solar PV capacity of 4.79kWp using 11 JINKO 435W modules. The panels were installed on a southeast-facing roof, allowing for strong morning and daytime solar generation and ensuring consistent energy production throughout the day.
A Fox H1 5.0kW hybrid inverter manages the system, seamlessly integrating solar production with battery storage. The system is paired with a larger Fox ECS 11.6kWh high-voltage battery, enabling significant amounts of excess energy to be stored and used during evenings or periods of lower solar output.
Installation Highlights
A key feature of this project is the combination of a southeast-facing solar array and increased battery capacity. The favourable roof orientation provides excellent solar exposure, while the larger battery system maximises the amount of renewable energy that can be stored and utilised within the home.
Results & Benefits
The installation provides the homeowner with:
Strong solar generation from a southeast-facing roof
Increased self-consumption with enhanced battery storage capacity
Reduced electricity bills and lower reliance on the grid
Greater energy flexibility and independence
Smart energy management with hybrid inverter technology
Conclusion
This project demonstrates how a well-oriented solar array paired with increased battery storage can significantly improve household energy efficiency and independence. TEMS Solar delivered a tailored solution designed to maximise performance, reliability, and long-term energy savings.
