Multi-Aspect Solar & Battery Installation – Haywards Heath, West Sussex
Project Overview
TEMS Solar completed a high-capacity residential solar and battery installation in Haywards Heath, West Sussex. The system was designed to maximise renewable energy generation across three faces of a hipped roof, 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 8.3kWp using 20 TRINA SOLAR 415W modules. The panels were strategically distributed across three faces of the hipped roof, allowing the system to make efficient use of the available roof space while capturing sunlight from different directions throughout the day.
A GivEnergy 5kW hybrid inverter manages the system, integrating solar generation with battery storage. The installation is paired with a GivEnergy 5.2kWh 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 three-face panel arrangement across the hipped roof. By utilising multiple roof aspects, TEMS Solar was able to maximise the available installation area and create a more balanced solar generation profile throughout the day.
Results & Benefits
The installation provides the homeowner with:
Strong solar generation across three roof aspects
Increased self-consumption through integrated battery storage
Reduced electricity bills and lower reliance on the grid
Optimised use of the hipped roof’s available space
Greater energy flexibility and independence
Conclusion
This project demonstrates how a carefully designed multi-aspect solar installation can maximise renewable energy generation on a hipped roof. TEMS Solar delivered a tailored solution combining high-capacity solar generation with battery storage to enhance efficiency, practicality, and long-term energy savings.
