Add solar panels
Review inverter inputs, voltage, current, roof space, shading and protection.
SOLAR SYSTEM UPGRADES
Expand what already works.
Assessment-led upgrades for existing solar, inverter and battery systems that need more capacity, longer backup, additional panels or a clearer path into future demand.
Add panelsWhere array and inverter capacity allow.
Expand storageReview matching and warranties.
Increase powerAssess inverter and electrical capacity.
Improve visibilityMonitoring and documentation.
QUICK ANSWER
What is a solar-system upgrade?
A solar-system upgrade changes an existing installation to support a new requirement, such as more panels, more battery storage, a larger inverter, additional supported loads, improved monitoring or replacement of ageing equipment.
Do not add equipment until compatibility, condition, warranties and the original electrical design have been reviewed.
UPGRADE ROUTES
What needs to change?
The route depends on whether the priority is more energy, more power, more solar generation, additional loads or system reliability.
Expand battery storage
Review battery model, age, chemistry, communication, warranty and approved expansion.
Increase inverter capacity
Assess higher loads, phases, battery support and electrical infrastructure.
Support more circuits
Review new load demand, runtime and inverter capacity.
Improve monitoring
Review data access, firmware, alerts and operating settings.
Replace ageing equipment
Define what remains, what changes and what cannot be verified.
UPGRADE PROCESS
Review before replacement.
The process should establish what is reusable, what must change and what new documentation is required.
01
Define the new need
Longer backup, additional loads, more solar generation or equipment replacement.
02
Document the current system
Collect model labels, photos, monitoring, bills, certificates and original records.
03
Assess compatibility
Review ratings, firmware, protection, condition and warranty position.
04
Define the approved scope
State retained equipment, replacements, exclusions and responsibilities.
05
Install and retest
Commission the revised system and update the handover file.
Upgrade review
Show us the current system.
Equipment labels, wide photographs, a bill and the new requirement are the strongest first inputs.
