Technical FAQs 4

Should I upgrade or expand my solar panel system?

Upgrading and expanding your existing solar panel system could be your answer. When it comes to solar energy, maximizing efficiency and optimizing performance are crucial.

Should You Expand Your Solar System?

When the time comes to increase the system's capacity, the major components are already in place. Thus, the additional expenditure is primarily for the extra solar panels and/or a home battery. This cost is significantly lower than that of installing an entirely new system, making the expansion a more budget-friendly option.

What is an expandable solar system?

An expandable system provides the adaptability to accommodate these changes seamlessly. Systems with modular designs are generally more expandable, and SolarEdge systems are designed with modularity in mind—each solar panel is equipped with a power optimiser, which maximises energy production at the panel level.

How can on-site solar PV & energy storage improve sustainability?

To achieve sustainability goals while meeting the increasing electricity demands of electrification, organizations are pairing on-site solar PV generation with on-site energy storage. These systems, which are considered as “behind-the-meter” (BTM) systems, allow facilities to maximize the benefits of on-site renewable generation.
