Location: Breacknell, Berkshire
Installer: TEMS Solar
System Characteristics:
Solar PV Capacity: 4.79kWp
Panels Installed: 11x Jinko 435W
Inverter: Fox H1 5.0kW Hybrid Inverter
Battery Storage: Fox ECS 5.8kWh High Voltage battery system
Case Study: Multi-Aspect Solar & Battery Installation – Bracknell, Berkshire
Project Overview
TEMS Solar completed a residential solar and battery installation in Bracknell, Berkshire. The system was designed to maximise renewable energy generation across a hipped roof, while integrating battery storage to improve 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 distributed across multiple roof faces of the hipped roof, enabling balanced energy generation throughout the day and making use of the maximum available roof area.
A Fox H1 5.0kW hybrid inverter manages the system, efficiently integrating solar production with battery storage. The Fox ECS 5.8kWh high-voltage battery system stores excess energy generated during the day, allowing it to be used during the evening or periods of lower solar output.
Installation Highlights
A key feature of this installation is the multi-aspect panel layout across a hipped roof. This approach ensures optimal use of available roof space while capturing sunlight from different angles, resulting in a more consistent generation profile.
Results & Benefits
The installation provides the homeowner with:
Consistent solar generation across multiple roof aspects
Increased self-consumption through integrated battery storage
Reduced electricity bills and lower reliance on the grid
Optimised use of a hipped roof’s available space
Conclusion
This project highlights how multi-aspect solar installations can overcome the limitations of complex roof designs. TEMS Solar delivered a tailored solution that maximises efficiency, performance, and long-term energy savings.
