Case Study: Solar & Battery Installation – Shepton Mallet, Somerset
Project Overview
On completion, TEMS Solar delivered a tailored residential solar and battery installation in Shepton Mallet, a historic market town in Somerset known for its mix of traditional and modern housing. The project focused on overcoming roof constraints while maximising solar generation and energy storage.
System Design & Specifications
The system delivers a total solar PV capacity of 4.45kWp, using 10 × Jinko 445W Solar Panels. Due to the presence of skylight windows, a bespoke panel layout was designed with varied orientations to make the most of the available roof space without compromising performance.
A Fox ESS 3.7kW Hybrid Inverter manages energy generation and usage, paired with a Fox ESS 11.6kWh HV Battery. This high-capacity battery enables substantial energy storage relative to system size, supporting efficient use of generated power.
Installation Highlights
This project showcases a highly customised approach to solar design. By adjusting panel orientation around skylights, TEMS Solar ensured that no viable roof space was wasted while maintaining strong overall system output.
The inclusion of a larger battery system enhances flexibility, allowing excess solar energy to be stored and used when generation is lower, such as during evenings or overcast conditions, or to charge during cheaper off-peak tariffs for use throughout the day.
Results & Benefits
The completed installation provides the homeowner with:
Efficient solar generation despite roof constraints
Reduced electricity bills and carbon footprint
High-capacity energy storage for improved self-consumption
A flexible, future-ready energy solution
Conclusion
This installation demonstrates how thoughtful, bespoke design can unlock the full potential of a property’s roof space. TEMS Solar delivered a solution that balances generation and storage, helping the homeowner achieve greater energy efficiency and independence in Shepton Mallet.
