12-Panel Solar and Battery Installation in Attleborough
Electric11 supplied and installed a 12-panel solar PV system with Fox ESS battery storage at a residential property in Attleborough. The project brought roof-mounted generation, a hybrid inverter and battery storage together to support the home’s energy-efficiency objectives.
This solar and battery installation in Attleborough included mounting equipment, cabling and isolators alongside the main components. Initial verification recorded correct inverter functionality and a successful loss-of-mains test, providing a documented operational result at the testing stage.
Project Overview
Electric11 supplied and installed a 12-panel solar PV system with battery storage at a residential property in Attleborough. The project aimed to improve the home’s energy efficiency by combining solar generation with energy storage.
The installation included a Fox ESS H1-6.0-E-G2-WL hybrid inverter and a Fox ESS EP12 battery with a recorded capacity of 11.52 kWh. Electric11 also provided the mounting systems, cabling and isolators required for the installation.
The Customer’s Challenge
The project brief centred on improving the residential property’s energy efficiency through solar generation and battery storage. Delivering that scope required more than fitting panels: the roof array, inverter, storage and associated electrical connections needed to form a working installation.
The record does not identify a target bill reduction or a particular household electricity-use pattern. The case study therefore focuses on the equipment delivered and the testing recorded, rather than attributing an unverified financial target or lifestyle requirement to the customer.
The Solution
Electric11 installed solar panels, a hybrid inverter and battery storage as part of the documented supply-and-installation scope.
The panels provide the generation element, while the battery provides storage. Combining the two creates the potential to keep some generated electricity for later use, depending on system settings, available solar output and household demand. Electric11’s home battery storage service explains this approach for homeowners considering similar equipment.
The work also included the mounting system, cabling and isolators needed for the installation. No equipment replacement is identified in the supplied summary, and the consumer-unit photograph alone does not establish that the board was replaced.
System Specifications
| Component | Project specification |
|---|---|
| Solar array | 12 panels; model and individual wattage awaiting confirmation |
| Hybrid inverter | Fox ESS H1-6.0-E-G2-WL |
| Inverter capacity | kW AC rating not reported because numerical specifications require reconciliation |
| Battery | Fox ESS EP12 |
| Battery capacity | 11.52 kWh as recorded; nominal or usable basis not specified |
| Associated installation materials | Mounting equipment, cabling and isolators |
| Photographed details | Panel-edge bird guards, EPS enclosure and labelled electrical equipment |
Solar array capacity, inverter output and battery storage capacity describe different aspects of a system. The battery’s 11.52 kWh figure must not be presented as the solar installation’s generating capacity.
Estimated Annual Performance and Savings
Annual generation, financial savings and emissions savings cannot yet be quantified from the available information.
A generation estimate first requires the confirmed panel wattage and a site-specific model reflecting the roof arrangement, shading and system losses. Panel quantity alone is insufficient.
Financial savings also depend on how much generated electricity is used at home, how much is exported, battery losses and the applicable electricity tariffs. Treating every generated unit as a saving at the retail import price would overstate the benefit where electricity is exported.
An emissions estimate needs a defined quantity of displaced grid electricity and an appropriate emissions factor. No numerical estimate or annual performance guarantee is presented here.
What This Project Shows
This project illustrates how a residential solar installation can combine rooftop equipment with battery storage and associated electrical infrastructure.
For homeowners researching a similar system, it also shows why the detail behind headline capacities matters. A panel count does not establish generating capacity, and a battery’s energy rating does not establish annual savings. A useful proposal connects those specifications with the property’s roof, demand and intended operation.

The Electric11 Solar and Battery Installation Process
Electric11’s published approach covers assessment, quotation, installation and testing. The stages below relate that framework to the documented Attleborough work. Where individual survey or handover activities are not recorded, they are identified as considerations for similar projects rather than reported as completed actions.
Site and Energy Assessment
For another home, assessment should consider roof suitability, shading, electricity demand and equipment positions. Detailed findings on those matters were not supplied for this project, so no specific roof orientation, shading condition or consumption profile is assumed.
System Design and Clear Quote
The quotation amount and any alternative designs were not supplied. For a comparable proposal, the equipment schedule should clearly separate panel capacity, inverter output and battery storage, alongside the associated electrical work and access requirements.
Coordinated Electrical Installation
The job summary confirms installation of the solar PV equipment and integration of the hybrid inverter and battery. The photographs add visible detail: panel mounting clamps, edge guards, external cable routes and an EPS enclosure with labelled connections.
Testing, Setup and Handover
Monitoring setup, customer demonstrations and handover documents are not described in the supplied summary. For a comparable installation, handover should explain system controls, monitoring access where provided, operating limitations and the documentation supplied. Those activities should be confirmed against the individual project record.
Electric11 installed 12 solar panels, a Fox ESS H1-6.0-E-G2-WL hybrid inverter and a Fox ESS EP12 battery recorded at 11.52 kWh. The scope also included mounting equipment, cabling and isolators. The supplied summary does not specify whether the battery capacity is nominal or usable.
A reliable annual figure is not available for this project. It requires confirmed panel wattage and site-specific modelling that accounts for the roof arrangement, shading and system losses. The number of panels alone does not establish either total kWp DC or annual kWh generation.
No supported annual savings figure was supplied. An estimate would require generation, household self-consumption, exported electricity, battery losses and applicable tariffs. Measured savings would additionally require dated electricity-use and billing records covering a defined comparison period.
No. The photograph shows an EPS enclosure, but it does not establish the connected backup circuits, available output, operating settings or a successful backup demonstration. Whole-home backup should not be claimed for this project without the relevant design and testing records.
The project summary reports completed initial verification, correct inverter functionality and a pass on the loss-of-mains test. It does not provide dated long-term monitoring results. The recorded testing outcome should therefore be kept separate from annual generation, savings or backup-performance claims.
