5 kW Solar Panels & Foxstar Battery, Newquay

A 14-panel solar PV system with a 9.5 kWh Foxstar battery installed in a south-facing semi in Newquay. Cornwall's above-average solar irradiance makes it an excellent location for solar, and the battery significantly increases self-consumption.

Location: Newquay Property: 3-bedroom 1970s semi-detached Completed: January 2026

The Challenge

The property had a split roof with sections at different orientations. The customer wanted maximum output but also needed to work around a chimney stack and a Velux window on the south-facing slope.

Our Solution

We designed a split array — 10 panels on the south slope and 4 on the south-west slope — using micro-inverters to allow each panel to perform independently regardless of partial shading. The 9.5 kWh Foxstar battery captures surplus generation for evening use.

The Outcome

The system generates an estimated 4,900 kWh per year, slightly above average thanks to Cornwall's higher solar irradiance. With the battery, the household uses approximately 82% of their own solar generation. Annual savings are estimated at over £1,100.
