Project Overview
TEMS Solar recently completed a domestic solar PV and battery storage installation for a home in Caversham, Reading. The homeowner wanted to reduce energy bills, make better use of on-site renewable generation, and install a compact system that would deliver reliable performance without overcomplicating the setup.
Following a detailed site survey and assessment of the household’s energy usage, a tailored solution was designed to balance solar generation with battery storage capacity.
Design & Installation
The 12-panel solar array was carefully positioned to maximise generation while maintaining a neat and discreet appearance. High-efficiency Jinko panels were selected to deliver strong output within the available roof space.
The Fox H1 5.0kW hybrid inverter manages solar generation, household demand, and battery charging in a single, efficient unit. The Fox ECS high-voltage battery stores surplus solar energy for use later in the day, helping the homeowner increase self-consumption and reduce reliance on grid electricity during peak periods.
All works were completed by TEMS Solar’s in-house installation team, ensuring compliance with current regulations and a high standard of workmanship throughout.
Performance & Benefits
Since commissioning, the system provides the homeowner with:
-
Consistent solar generation from a 5.22 kWp array
-
Stored energy available for evening and overnight use
-
Reduced grid electricity consumption
-
Lower energy bills and improved energy independence
-
Reduced household carbon footprint
-
A scalable system with the option to add further battery capacity in the future
Conclusion
This Caversham installation highlights how a well-designed solar PV and battery system can deliver excellent results for domestic properties with modest roof space. By combining reliable Jinko panels with Fox’s hybrid inverter and high-voltage battery technology, TEMS Solar delivered a compact, efficient, and future-ready renewable energy solution.
