Retrofitting Battery Storage to an Existing Solar Power System Retrofitting battery storage to an existing solar power system involves 3 things: 1. A Battery Storage System (The Battery) 2. A Battery Inverter (This does not replace the job of your current solar inverter, but it is still required) 3. A new Metering Unit (seperate to …

Hybrid Inverters – What You Need To Know
There are remarkable benefits in having a Hybrid inverter, because Hybrid inverters are specifically designed to couple solar power systems with battery storage. Whilst there are benefits in having AC Coupled Storage and benefits in having DC Coupled Storage, with a Hybrid inverter, you get the benefits of both! A key benefit is that you …
Want To Go “Off-Grid”?
We all like the idea of going off-grid until we see the price! Going off-grid requires a large system that will be able to generate and store enough power to cope with heavy use, even when it is cloudy, rainy or even dark. If you are located remotely and unable to access electricity from the …
What’s the Difference Between Solar Inverters & Battery Inverters?
A solar inverter converts DC power (Direct current) from the panels into AC power (alternating current) for your home or business. A battery inverter converts DC power from the batteries into AC power for your home or business and converts AC power from the home or business (from your solar power system and the grid) to DC power …

Battery Storage for Solar
Solar Battery Storage Everyone loves the idea of going “off the grid” and becoming independent from their electricity company. At face value, storing electricity in a battery seems like a pretty basic concept, but there are several important aspects of battery storage that most people are yet to understand. We have clearly documented them below. …
