Battery storage
A home battery can shift solar energy into the hours when the sun is down, but capacity and configuration should be matched to your generation, household demand, tariff, existing equipment and backup expectations.
Battery fit
Battery economics and usefulness vary substantially between homes. The assessment needs to understand both how the battery will charge and how it is expected to discharge.
Existing solar
The age and architecture of the existing solar system can affect battery options, inverter changes, monitoring and the way backup is configured.
Backup expectations
If backup matters, the system design needs to define what should remain powered, the available output and how the property changes over to backup operation.
