Location: Thame, Oxfordshire
Installer: TEMS Solar
System Characteristics:
Solar PV Capacity: 6.88kWp
Panels Installed: 16xJINKO 430W
Inverter: Fox 6.0kW Hybrid Inverter
Battery Storage: Fox ECS 5.8kWh HV Battery
Case Study: East-West Solar & Battery Installation – Thame, Oxfordshire
Project Overview
TEMS Solar completed a residential solar and battery installation in Thame, Oxfordshire. The system was designed to maximise renewable energy generation on a mid-terraced property by utilising both east and west-facing roof sections, while incorporating battery storage to improve self-consumption and reduce reliance on grid electricity.
System Design & Specifications
The installation provides a total solar PV capacity of 6.88kWp using 16 JINKO 430W modules. The panels were strategically installed across the east and west-facing roofs, creating a balanced generation profile that captures sunlight from morning through to evening.
A Fox 6.0kW hybrid inverter manages the system, seamlessly integrating solar production with battery storage. The Fox ECS 5.8kWh high-voltage battery stores excess energy generated during daylight hours, allowing it to be used during the evening or periods of lower solar output.
Installation Highlights
A key feature of this project is the installation across both roof slopes of a mid-terraced property. By making use of the east and west-facing aspects, TEMS Solar created a system that extends the daily generation window while maximising the available roof space on the home.
Results & Benefits
The installation provides the homeowner with:
Extended solar generation from morning through to evening
Increased self-consumption through integrated battery storage
Reduced electricity bills and lower reliance on the grid
Optimised use of the east and west-facing roof space
Smart energy management with hybrid inverter technology
Conclusion
This project demonstrates how an east-west solar array can maximise energy production on a mid-terraced property. TEMS Solar delivered a tailored solution that combines efficient solar generation with battery storage, providing reliable performance and long-term energy savings.
