Case Study: Solar & Battery Installation – Reading, Berkshire
Project Overview
TEMS Solar completed a residential solar and battery installation in Reading, Berkshire. The project was designed to provide efficient renewable energy generation while integrating battery storage to maximise self-consumption and reduce grid reliance.
System Design & Specifications
The system delivers a total solar PV capacity of 5.66kWp using 13 JINKO 435W modules. The panels were carefully installed to ensure optimal performance while accommodating the property’s slate roof structure.
A Fox H1 5.0kW hybrid inverter manages the system, converting solar energy and coordinating battery storage. The Fox ECS 5.8kWh high-voltage battery stores excess electricity generated during the day, making it available for use during the evening or lower-generation periods.
Installation Highlights
A key aspect of this installation was the integration of solar panels onto a slate roof. This required a precise and careful approach to ensure a secure, weatherproof fit while maintaining the integrity and appearance of the roof.
Results & Benefits
The installation provides the homeowner with:
Efficient solar energy generation tailored to the property
Increased self-consumption through battery storage
Reduced electricity bills and lower reliance on the grid
A secure and aesthetically considered installation on a slate roof
Conclusion
This project demonstrates how solar can be successfully integrated with more traditional roofing materials such as slate. TEMS Solar delivered a high-quality, tailored solution that balances performance, durability, and visual appeal while supporting long-term energy savings.
