Domestic Solar, Battery & EV Charger Installation Case Study – Nuneaton, West Midlands
Nuneaton, located in the West Midlands, is a well-established market town with a mix of traditional and modern housing. While the region experiences typical UK weather patterns, it still offers good potential for solar energy generation, particularly when systems are designed to maximise efficiency and self-consumption.
Project Overview
This domestic solar, battery, and EV charger installation was completed by TEMS Solar on 22nd May 2026, delivering a compact yet highly efficient renewable energy solution tailored to the homeowner’s needs.
System Specifications
System Type: Domestic Solar, Battery & EV Charger Installation
Solar PV Capacity: 3.56 kWp
Panels Installed: 8 × Jinko 445W modules
Inverter: Fox 3.7kW Hybrid Inverter
Battery Storage: Fox ECS – 5.8 kWh
System Design & Installation
This installation features a relatively small array of 8 high-efficiency Jinko 445W panels, delivering a total capacity of 3.56 kWp. Despite its size, the system has been carefully designed to maximise energy efficiency and usability.
A Fox 3.7kW hybrid inverter integrates solar generation with the 5.8 kWh Fox ECS battery storage, enabling the household to store excess solar energy generated during the day. The inclusion of an EV charger allows the homeowner to take further advantage of low-cost and renewable energy for vehicle charging.
The system is also optimised to work alongside cheaper overnight energy tariffs, allowing the battery to charge from the grid when rates are low and discharge during peak periods—further enhancing cost savings.
Performance & Benefits
This intelligently designed system provides several key advantages:
Maximises the value of a smaller solar array through battery storage
Enables efficient use of both solar energy and off-peak electricity tariffs
Supports low-cost EV charging at home
Reduces reliance on grid electricity during peak times
Lowers overall energy bills and carbon emissions
By combining solar generation, battery storage, and tariff optimisation, the system ensures energy is used as efficiently and economically as possible.
Conclusion
This project demonstrates how even smaller solar installations can deliver strong results when paired with battery storage and smart energy management. Installed by TEMS Solar, the system provides a flexible, cost-effective solution that supports both sustainability and long-term savings.
