Get More From Your Existing Solar Installation
Your electricity usage may have changed since your solar system was first installed. You may now have an electric vehicle, heat pump, battery or higher daytime electricity demand.
Solar Support assesses existing installations and identifies practical ways to increase generation, storage capacity, visibility or overall system performance.
Solar Upgrade Options
Depending on the existing installation, upgrades may include:
- Adding more solar panels
- Extending an existing panel array
- Adding battery storage
- Increasing existing battery capacity
- Replacing an older inverter
- Replacing a standard string inverter with a battery-ready hybrid inverter
- Adding optimisers where technically appropriate
- Improving monitoring and consumption measurement
- Replacing failed or obsolete equipment
- Reconfiguring panels following roof alterations
- Integrating EV charging or energy-diversion equipment
Adding More Solar Panels
Before extending an existing array, we assess:
Newer panels may have different electrical characteristics from the original equipment, so they cannot always be added directly to the same string.
Upgrading to a Hybrid Inverter
Many older solar installations use a standard string inverter that was not designed to operate with a battery.
Replacing it with a battery-ready hybrid inverter may make it possible to:
The existing panels, strings, cabling and electrical protection must be checked before an inverter is replaced.
Adding More Battery Capacity
If you already have a battery, additional capacity may be possible. However, battery expansion depends on:
Some manufacturers restrict the mixing of batteries of different ages, capacities or generations. Compatibility must be confirmed before additional modules are ordered.
Start With a System Assessment
Before proposing an upgrade, we review what is already installed and how it is performing. We then compare the available options and explain whether the proposed upgrade is practical.
Where appropriate, we will also advise whether repairing the existing system, replacing individual components or installing a separately managed extension would provide better value.
Planning an Upgrade?
Send us photographs of your inverter, panels, meter and consumer unit, together with a recent electricity bill. We will review the existing installation and recommend the next step.
