Domestic Solar & Battery Installation Case Study – Sandhurst, Berkshire

Sandhurst, located in Berkshire, is a residential town in the South East of England known for its suburban character and proximity to green spaces. The region benefits from favourable solar conditions, making it well-suited for domestic solar PV installations, particularly on properties with ample roof space for larger systems.

Project Overview
This domestic solar and battery installation was completed by TEMS Solar on 10th May 2024, providing the homeowner with an efficient and reliable renewable energy solution tailored to their energy needs.

System Specifications

• System Type: Domestic Solar & Battery Installation

• Solar PV Capacity: 7.29 kWp

• Panels Installed: 18 × JA Solar 405W modules

• Inverter: Fox 6kW Hybrid Inverter

• Battery Storage: Fox ECS – 5.8 kWh

System Design & Installation
The system comprises 18 high-efficiency JA Solar 405W panels, delivering a total capacity of 7.29 kWp. The array size provides strong generation potential, enabling the household to meet a significant portion of its annual electricity demand through solar energy.

A Fox 6kW hybrid inverter was selected to efficiently manage both solar generation and battery storage. The inclusion of a 5.8 kWh Fox ECS battery allows excess energy generated during daylight hours to be stored and used later, enhancing self-consumption and reducing reliance on grid electricity.

The system design ensures a balanced approach between generation capacity and storage, providing flexibility for daily energy use.

Performance & Benefits
This installation offers several key benefits:

• Generates a substantial portion of the home’s electricity from renewable sources

• Increases energy independence with integrated battery storage

• Reduces electricity bills by lowering grid consumption

• Provides a more sustainable, low-carbon energy solution

By storing surplus energy for use during peak times, the system maximises the value of the electricity generated on-site.

Conclusion
This project demonstrates how a well-sized solar PV and battery system can deliver strong performance and long-term savings for a residential property. Installed by TEMS Solar, the system provides a dependable and efficient solution that supports both financial and environmental goals.
