Jinko 440W Solar Panel Installation in Basingstoke | 3.96 kWp SolaX Hybrid System☀️♻️

5 September 2025

We’ve just completed a sleek solar panel installation in Basingstoke, Berkshire, using the latest Jinko 440W All-Black panels. The best part? No need to strip the roof — this system sits neatly on the existing tiles, giving the homeowner a modern, low-profile finish.

🔧 System Details:

 

  • 9 x Jinko 440W All-Black Solar Panels (3.96 kWp system)
  • On-roof mounting system – hassle-free and fast to install
  • SolaX Hybrid Inverter with Battery Storage
  • Cloud-based monitoring for performance tracking

 

Why the Customer Chose Solar


This installation was carried out for a new build homeowner in Basingstoke, whose main goal was to make the property greener and more energy independent from day one.


By installing solar panels with battery storage, the customer can:

 

  • Cut electricity bills by up to 60% compared to standard usage.
  • Generate around 3,800–4,000 kWh per year (based on UK averages for a 3.96 kWp system).
  • Store excess energy for evening use, maximising savings.
  • Enjoy reliable, clean energy for decades to come.

 

What We Like About the SolaX Setup ⚡


This was our first project using SolaX hybrid inverters and batteries, and after a short learning curve, we were impressed.


Here’s why SolaX is a solid choice:

 

  • Handles oversized PV input – meaning you can install more panels than the inverter’s nominal rating, squeezing more generation out of your roof.
  • Super quick EPS (Emergency Power Supply) switchover – acts like a mini UPS, keeping essential circuits live in a power cut.
  • Smart cloud monitoring – the homeowner can track production, usage, and battery levels in real-time from their phone.

✅ Fully Certified & Backed by Warranty

As with all our projects, this system was delivered with:

 

  • Full MCS Certification – ensuring the installation meets strict UK safety and performance standards.
  • Manufacturer Warranties – 25 years on Jinko panels, plus strong cover on the SolaX battery and inverter.
  • QWAN (Qualitymark Protection Warranty Administration) – giving the homeowner:
  • A workmanship warranty.
  • Deposit protection (where applicable).
  • Insurance-backed cover for long-term peace of mind.

 

Solar & Battery Storage FAQs


How much can I save with solar panels in the UK?

For a 3.96 kWp system like this one, homeowners in the South East can typically save £500–£800 per year on electricity bills (depending on usage and tariffs).


Do batteries really make a difference?

Yes – battery storage allows you to use more of your own solar energy, reducing reliance on the grid and protecting against rising energy prices.


Will solar panels add value to my home?

Homes with solar panels are increasingly attractive to buyers, especially with rising energy costs. Research suggests they can increase property value and saleability.
