We recently completed a solar panel and battery storage installation on Sibland Way in Thornbury, helping the homeowner generate and store their own electricity.
Solar systems with battery storage are becoming increasingly popular, allowing homeowners to reduce reliance on the grid and make better use of renewable energy.
About the System
For this Thornbury installation we used JA Solar panels paired with a Fox ESS hybrid inverter and battery — a reliable combination that’s well-suited to South Gloucestershire’s climate and typical household usage patterns.
- JA Solar panels — consistently high output, strong warranty terms
- Fox ESS hybrid inverter — manages both solar generation and battery
- Battery storage for evening use of daytime generation
- Real-time monitoring via the Fox ESS app
Installation Overview
We designed the system around the property’s roof orientation and the homeowner’s energy usage, then completed the full installation in a single day.
- Solar panels installed on the roof
- Fox ESS hybrid inverter and battery installed internally
- System configured, commissioned and monitoring set up
- MCS certification and DNO notification handled
How Solar and Battery Storage Work Together
Solar panels generate electricity during daylight hours. Without battery storage, any surplus the home doesn’t use immediately gets exported to the grid — often at a lower rate than you’d pay to import it later in the day.
Battery storage captures that surplus and holds it for use in the evening or during periods of low generation. For most households, this significantly increases the proportion of self-generated electricity that’s actually used on-site, which is where the real bill savings come from.
