Tems Solar, a trusted provider of innovative solar energy solutions, recently completed a highly successful installation of a 5KW Foxess hybrid solar system with 10.36KW of battery storage for a customer based in Hayling Island

Client Background

The client, a homeowner in Hayling Island, sought to make their household more energy-efficient and self-sufficient. The customer was motivated by rising electricity costs, concerns about environmental impact, and the desire for a reliable backup energy solution, particularly given the unpredictability of grid supply in coastal areas.

The Challenge

The main challenge was to design and implement a solar system capable of meeting the energy demands of the home, which included heating, lighting, and powering appliances, while also factoring in seasonal variations in solar generation. The client wanted a robust solution that would allow them to store excess solar energy and draw from the storage when the sun wasn’t shining or during high-demand periods.

Additionally, the client was keen on achieving significant long-term savings while contributing to environmental sustainability. The design also had to account for the limited roof space and specific aesthetic preferences of the customer.

The Solution

Tems Solar provided the client with an efficient and future-proof energy solution: a 5KW Foxess hybrid solar system paired with a 10.36KW battery storage solution.

• 5KW Foxess Hybrid Inverter: The Foxess hybrid inverter is a highly efficient solution that combines the functionality of both a solar inverter and a battery inverter. This allows the customer to maximize energy savings by not only generating clean energy from the sun but also efficiently storing it for later use. The 5KW system is optimized for average energy consumption needs, balancing energy generation and storage capacity.

• 10.36KW of Battery Storage: The system was equipped with 10.36KW of high-performance lithium-ion battery storage. This large storage capacity ensures that the homeowner can store enough solar energy during the day to cover evening and night-time consumption. By having a sufficient energy buffer, the client is no longer reliant on the grid, even during overcast weather or at night.

• Energy Management System: The installation also included an advanced energy management system that tracks solar generation, energy consumption, and battery storage levels in real time. This system helps the customer optimize their energy usage, ensuring that excess energy is efficiently stored and only drawn from the battery when needed, maximizing the overall cost savings.

Installation Process

The installation process was carefully planned and executed to ensure seamless integration with the customer’s existing energy infrastructure. The project unfolded as follows:

1. Initial Consultation & Site Survey: Tems Solar conducted a detailed site survey to assess roof space, sun exposure, and the client’s specific energy needs. The team used this information to design a customized solar solution that would maximize energy generation and storage while considering the aesthetic and structural requirements of the client’s property.

2. System Design & Customization: Based on the site survey, Tems Solar’s engineers designed a 5KW Foxess hybrid system that would provide a balance between energy production and storage. The 10.36KW battery system was chosen to ensure that the client had ample storage capacity to cover evening and high-demand periods.

3. Installation: The installation of the solar panels and battery storage system was completed over the course of two days. The solar panels were mounted on the roof, and the battery storage units were placed in a safe, accessible area on the outside wall of the home. The hybrid inverter was connected to both the solar panels and the batteries, ensuring optimal energy flow between generation, storage, and consumption.

4. System Testing: After installation, Tems Solar’s team conducted rigorous testing to ensure that the system was performing as expected. The solar panels, inverter, and batteries were all thoroughly checked for efficiency, and the energy management system was configured to allow the client to monitor the system remotely.

5. Handover & Training: The client received comprehensive training on how to operate and monitor their new solar energy system. This included instruction on accessing the online portal to track solar energy production, storage levels, and consumption patterns.

Benefits to the Client

The installation of the 5KW Foxess hybrid solar system with 10.36KW of battery storage delivered several key benefits to the customer:

1. Reduced Energy Costs: The client now generates a significant portion of their energy from their own solar system, reducing their reliance on expensive grid electricity. Excess solar power generated during the day is stored and used later, leading to substantial savings on monthly electricity bills.

2. Energy Independence: The 10.36KW battery storage provides energy resilience, ensuring the client has access to stored solar energy when the sun isn’t shining. This greatly reduces dependence on the national grid, particularly during peak hours or in the event of grid failures.

3. Sustainability & Environmental Impact: The transition to solar energy means the client has greatly reduced their carbon footprint. By using clean, renewable energy from the sun, they are contributing to a more sustainable future and reducing reliance on fossil fuels.

4. Energy Security: The client now has a reliable backup power source. In the event of a power outage, the battery system can supply energy to critical household appliances, providing peace of mind and ensuring the home remains powered even during grid failures.

5. Future-Proofing: The system is designed to be scalable, which means the client can easily expand their energy system if their needs change in the future. Whether it’s adding more battery storage or increasing the solar capacity, the system is flexible and adaptable.

Conclusion

Tems Solar’s successful installation of a 5KW Foxess hybrid solar system with 10.36KW of battery storage for a client in Hayling Island has helped the homeowner achieve a more energy-efficient, cost-effective, and sustainable living solution. This installation not only meets the client’s immediate energy needs but also provides long-term energy independence, resilience, and significant financial savings.
