Retrofitting solar energy storage

4 FAQs about [Retrofitting solar energy storage]

Can a PV inverter retrofit an AC coupled storage system?

Whatever the case, to retrofit an AC coupled storage system, the PV inverter must be installed such that it is isolated from the grid during an outage by the battery based inverter. To do so, a critical loads panel is added to the facility where the PV inverter is interconnected.

How do I retrofit an AC coupled storage system?

In some instances the point of interconnection is on a subpanel or a load-side connection of the service conductors. Whatever the case, to retrofit an AC coupled storage system, the PV inverter must be installed such that it is isolated from the grid during an outage by the battery based inverter.

How much does a retrofit battery installation cost?

On average, installing a battery storage system costs about $13,000 before incentives. However, the final price will vary based on the brand of battery, your location, and the complexity of your installation.

Can you add battery storage to a solar panel?

The good news is that it’s entirely possible to add battery storage to an existing solar panel setup. So-called “storage ready” systems are already equipped with an inverter that can easily direct excess power into a battery. But even if your system wasn’t designed with storage in mind, you still have options.
