Solar & Battery Storage Installation in Larkhall, Bath
We recently completed a solar and battery storage installation for a homeowner in Larkhall, Bath, providing a reliable renewable energy solution with the added benefit of automatic backup power during grid outages.
For this project, we installed the Fox ESS Evo 10 – 10kW All-in-One System with 10kWh battery storage, paired with a Fox ESS Backup Gateway. This advanced all-in-one system enables the homeowner to maximise their use of solar energy, reduce reliance on the grid, and store excess electricity for use when it's needed most.
A key requirement for the customer was ensuring their home would continue to have power during electricity outages. To achieve this, we integrated the Fox ESS Backup Gateway into the installation. In the event of a power cut, the gateway automatically detects the outage and seamlessly switches the property from grid power to off-grid battery power. This transition happens automatically, ensuring the home continues to receive electricity with minimal interruption.
The combination of the Fox ESS Evo 10 system and Backup Gateway provides greater energy independence, enhanced resilience against power outages, and improved control over household energy consumption. It's an ideal solution for homeowners looking to protect themselves from unexpected interruptions while making the most of their solar investment.
If you're considering a solar and battery storage system with backup power capability, our team can design a solution tailored to your home's energy needs and provide expert installation from start to finish.
Customer feedback
A few weeks after the installation, the customer shared their experience with us:
"We've been really impressed with the system. Since the scaffolding was removed, it's been generating an average of around 23kWh per day, with peaks of over 27kWh on sunny days – exactly what we were hoping for.
One of the biggest surprises has been how much energy the north-facing roof panels produce. They're contributing almost 30% of the total generation, thanks to reduced shading and longer evening sunlight. It really shows the value of including both roof elevations in the design.
Overall, we're very happy with the installation."
This feedback highlights how careful system design, including panel placement on multiple roof elevations and the use of optimisers, can maximise energy generation. It also demonstrates the real-world performance of the Fox ESS Evo 10 system and how homeowners in Bath can benefit from high solar yields throughout the year.
