Bespoke Solar & Battery Installation – Brentwood, Essex

Project Overview
TEMS Solar completed a residential solar and battery installation in Brentwood, Essex. The system was designed to maximise renewable energy generation across a complex roof layout, making the best possible use of the available space while incorporating battery storage to increase self-consumption and reduce reliance on grid electricity.

System Design & Specifications
The installation delivers a total solar PV capacity of 8.4kWp using 20 TRINA SOLAR 420W modules. The panels were strategically positioned across the property's complex roof structure, allowing TEMS Solar to maximise the available installation area and achieve strong renewable energy generation.

A GivEnergy 5kW hybrid inverter manages the system, integrating solar generation with battery storage. The system is paired with a GivEnergy 9.5kWh battery, allowing surplus energy generated during daylight hours to be stored for use during the evening or periods of lower solar output.

Installation Highlights
A key feature of this project is the bespoke panel arrangement across the complex roof. Careful planning and precise positioning enabled TEMS Solar to make the best use of the available roof space while maintaining a practical and balanced installation layout.

Results & Benefits
The installation provides the homeowner with:

High-capacity solar generation from an 8.4kWp array
Increased self-consumption through 9.5kWh battery storage
Optimised use of a complex roof structure
Reduced electricity bills and lower reliance on the grid
Greater energy flexibility and independence

Conclusion
This project demonstrates how careful system design can overcome the challenges of a complex roof while maximising solar generation. TEMS Solar delivered a tailored solution combining high-capacity solar panels with substantial battery storage to enhance efficiency, practicality, and long-term energy savings.
