Technical FAQs 4

What is solar retrofit?

Solar retrofit is the process of upgrading existing solar energy systems to improve their efficiency, functionality, or capacity. This can involve modifications such as adding new solar panels, power optimisers or inverters to meet increased energy demands or enhance system performance.

Are solar battery retrofits a good idea?

Homeowners and businesses are increasingly seeking to enhance their energy independence through solar battery retrofits. These battery systems allow for the storage of excess solar energy generated during the day, enabling use during high electricity prices or at night.
