Technical FAQs 4

Should I add a battery to my solar system?

The approach depends entirely on your current equipment. If your existing solar system works well, AC-coupled battery addition offers the simplest upgrade path. This approach installs a separate battery inverter alongside your existing solar inverter, allowing both systems to operate independently.

Should I Retrofit batteries to my existing solar system?

Retrofitting batteries to existing solar installations presents unique challenges and opportunities. The approach depends entirely on your current equipment. If your existing solar system works well, AC-coupled battery addition offers the simplest upgrade path.

Does outdoor battery installation need weather protection?

Outdoor battery installation requires more planning but remains perfectly viable with proper protection. Weather protection isn't optional – it's mandatory for warranty compliance. Modern batteries carry IP65 ratings (protected against water jets), but manufacturers now require protective canopies for external installations.

Do batteries need a waterproof canopy?

Modern batteries carry IP65 ratings (protected against water jets), but manufacturers now require protective canopies for external installations. Rain, snow, and direct sunlight all reduce battery lifespan significantly.
