Retrofitting a Battery to Existing Panels
Already generating solar energy? No problem. In most cases, we can retrofit a solar battery to your current setup, even if it was installed by another provider. We’ll assess your inverter type, system capacity, and usage to determine the best retrofit approach.
We often help customers who want to reduce their reliance on the grid, store more of their generated power, or make better use of smart tariffs like Octopus Agile or Intelligent Octopus.
