Roof-mounted
system (optimised for south/south-west orientation)
|
The system uses a hybrid inverter, allowing seamless integration
between solar generation, battery storage, and grid usage.
System Design & Installation
Following an initial site survey, key factors considered included:
Roof orientation and pitch
Shading from nearby structures
Household energy consumption patterns
Panels were positioned to maximise solar exposure, particularly
during peak generation months in spring and summer.
Performance Estimates
Annual Generation
This output is typical for a system of this size in southern
England.
Battery Contribution
The 5.18 kWh battery allows excess daytime generation to be stored
for evening use, increasing self-consumption.
Key Outcomes
Reduced electricity bills
Increased energy independence
Better utilisation of renewable
energy through battery storage
Summary
This 4.36 kWp system installed by TEMS Solar demonstrates how a
compact, high-efficiency solar and battery solution can deliver
strong financial and environmental benefits.
With modern high-output panels and integrated storage, even modest
roof spaces can achieve meaningful reductions in energy costs and
carbon footprint.
