Case Study: Solar & Battery Installation – Reading, Berkshire

Project Overview
On 23 March 2024, TEMS Solar completed a residential solar and battery installation in Reading, Berkshire. The system was designed to deliver strong renewable energy generation alongside enhanced battery storage, helping the homeowner maximise self-consumption and reduce reliance on grid electricity.

System Design & Specifications
The installation provides a total solar PV capacity of 7.40kWp using 17 JINKO 435W modules. The panel layout was carefully designed to optimise available roof space using different panel orientations.

A Fox 6kW hybrid inverter manages the system, efficiently integrating solar production with battery storage. The system is paired with a Fox ECS 8.6kWh high-voltage battery, offering increased storage capacity to retain more excess energy for use during evenings or periods of lower solar output.

Installation Highlights
This project features a well-balanced combination of strong solar generation and enhanced battery capacity. The larger battery system allows for greater energy retention, improving overall system efficiency and reducing dependence on grid electricity.

Results & Benefits
The installation provides the homeowner with:

• Strong solar energy generation

• Increased self-consumption with higher-capacity battery storage

• Reduced electricity bills and lower reliance on the grid

• Optimised use of available roof space

• Efficient energy management with hybrid inverter technology

Conclusion
This installation demonstrates the benefits of pairing a high-capacity solar system with increased battery storage. TEMS Solar delivered a tailored solution that maximises performance, energy independence, and long-term cost savings.
