Frequently Asked Questions
Can I add a battery to my existing solar panel system?
Yes! We specialize in "retrofitting" batteries to older systems. We use AC-coupled storage solutions (like the myenergi libbi) which allow us to add storage to almost any existing solar array without needing to replace your current inverter.
Will my battery keep my power on during a grid blackout?
Not all batteries do this automatically, but we can design your system with an "Emergency Power Supply" (EPS) function. This allows the battery to kick in and power essential circuits (like lights, fridge, and Wi-Fi) if the National Grid goes down.
What is the lifespan of a home energy battery?
Most modern lithium-ion batteries, like those we install, are rated for 6,000 to 10,000 "cycles" and come with a 10-year warranty. For the average family, this typically equates to 15+ years of reliable daily use.
How much space do I need for a battery installation?
Modern batteries are sleek and about the size of a small radiator. They can be mounted on a garage wall, in a utility room, or even outside if they have the correct IP weather rating.
