16-Panel Solar, Battery Storage and EV Charger Installation in Wymondham
Electric11 installed a 16-panel solar PV array, 11.52 kWh Fox ESS battery and Zappi EV charger at a bungalow in Wymondham. A 10 kW Fox ESS hybrid inverter coordinates solar generation, stored energy, household consumption and vehicle charging within one integrated system. Dedicated protection, surge protection, testing and electrical certification completed the installation.
Project Overview
The homeowner wanted one coordinated system that could generate renewable electricity, store surplus power and support convenient EV charging. Electric11 designed and installed a 16-panel solar array with Fox ESS battery storage and a Zappi charger, creating a practical route to lower grid dependence.
This project shows how a carefully planned solar panel installation in Wymondham can connect generation, storage and transport within a single home-energy setup.
The customer’s goal
The brief was to make better use of the bungalow’s roof space while preparing the home for growing electricity demand. The system needed to support daytime household loads, retain surplus solar energy for later use and provide a dedicated charging point for an electric vehicle.
Battery storage was an important part of the design. It allows more of the electricity generated during daylight hours to be used in the evening instead of being exported immediately. Electric11 offers further guidance on home battery storage in Norfolk and how capacity can be matched to household demand.
Site assessment and system design
The single-storey roof provided room for 16 low-profile solar panels. Electric11 assessed the available roof area, cable routes, existing electrical equipment and suitable positions for the inverter, battery and charger before work began.
The Fox ESS KH10 hybrid inverter and EP12 Plus battery were mounted externally on the bungalow wall, keeping the equipment together and accessible for inspection. The Zappi charger was positioned alongside the energy system for convenient vehicle access. Customers comparing options can review Electric11’s guide to EV chargers for the home.
What Electric11 installed
16-panel solar PV array
The team fitted 16 black solar panels across the tiled roof using a secure rail-and-clamp mounting system. The finished layout is neat, balanced and designed to make productive use of the available roof space.
Fox ESS hybrid inverter and battery
A Fox ESS KH10 10 kW hybrid inverter manages energy from the solar array, household demand and battery. The paired Fox ESS EP12 Plus provides 11.52 kWh of nominal storage capacity and includes a 10-year warranty.
The battery can retain surplus daytime generation for evening use, helping the household increase solar self-consumption and reduce electricity bought from the grid. Similar completed work can be seen in Electric11’s Wymondham battery storage upgrade.
Zappi EV charger
The wall-mounted Zappi charger gives the homeowner a dedicated home charging point. Its energy-aware controls can prioritise available solar generation, making it a natural addition to the new PV and battery system.
Electrical protection and certification
Electric11 installed the required isolation, circuit protection and surge protection equipment, then completed electrical testing and commissioning. An Electrical Installation Certificate was supplied as part of the handover.
Installation approach
he solar panels were installed using access equipment suited to the bungalow roof. Cables were routed neatly to the external inverter and battery position, with the Zappi charger incorporated into the same coordinated energy system.
The team tested the completed installation, checked the protective devices and commissioned the equipment before explaining the controls to the homeowner. Electric11 also provides ongoing solar panel maintenance in Norfolk for owners who want their system inspected after installation.
The result
The bungalow now has an integrated solar, battery and EV charging system designed around the homeowner’s daily energy needs. The 16-panel array can generate electricity during daylight hours, the 11.52 kWh battery can retain surplus energy, and the Zappi offers convenient charging at home.
Based on the stated assumptions, the estimated 7.36 kW array could generate about 6,620 kWh a year, avoid roughly 1,170 kg of grid-related CO2 emissions and reduce annual electricity costs by around £1,360. Actual results will vary with panel rating, orientation, shading, weather, household consumption, battery settings, EV charging and tariffs.

The Electric11 installation process
Electric11 coordinates the solar array, battery, inverter, EV charger and electrical protection as one complete project, keeping communication clear from the first survey through to handover.
Home energy and roof assessment
The team reviews the roof, electrical supply, household demand, EV charging needs and suitable equipment positions. This creates a clear technical brief before the system is designed.
Clear system design and quotation
Electric11 specifies the proposed panel layout, inverter, battery capacity, charger and protection equipment. The quotation explains the scope of work and expected performance without hidden additions.
Coordinated installation
Qualified installers fit the roof array, external Fox ESS equipment and Zappi charger, then complete the cable routes, isolation and circuit protection. The work is planned to limit disruption around the home.
Testing, certification and handover
The complete system is inspected, tested and commissioned. The homeowner receives the relevant electrical certification, warranty information and practical guidance on using the solar, battery and charging equipment.
Electric11 installed 16 solar panels, a Fox ESS KH10 10 kW hybrid inverter, an 11.52 kWh Fox ESS EP12 Plus battery and a myenergi Zappi EV charger.
The array is estimated at 7.36 kW based on an assumed panel rating of 460 W across 16 panels. The final published figure should be checked against the MCS design certificate.
The modelled estimate is about 6,620 kWh per year. Actual generation depends on the confirmed panel rating, roof orientation, shading, weather and system performance.
The 11.52 kWh battery stores surplus solar electricity for later use, helping the household consume more of its own generation during evenings or other higher-demand periods.
Yes. A Zappi charger can be configured to respond to available surplus generation, allowing the homeowner to make greater use of solar electricity when charging an EV.
