Should You Add a Battery to Your Existing Solar?
A battery stores what your panels make during the day so you can use it at night. Whether it stacks up comes down to how you use power and what your current system is doing.
Look at what you send back to the grid
If your panels export a lot during the day and you buy a lot of power at night, a battery has something to work with. If your solar barely covers your daytime use, more panels may be the better first step.
Check your inverter
Some inverters work with a battery directly. Others need a second inverter or a replacement. We check yours at the site visit and tell you which it is, so you know what can stay and what needs to change.
Decide whether you want backup power
Not every battery install keeps the lights on in a blackout. Backup needs to be designed in. Tell us what you would want running during an outage and we will tell you what that takes.
Ask for it in writing
