Expanding an Existing Solar System with More Panels and Batteries; Know Your Options

Solar power has proved to be the best way of generating power from a natural resource, sun and that too within no significant amount. All you need to do is to install a few solar panels which take sunlight and convert it into electricity and a few batteries which help to store that energy. In this way, you can get cheap electricity for your household usage as well as for your workplace. So, generating power from a clean, natural and renewable resource is the best way to contribute to society as well as to help yourself in getting rid of increased energy prices these days which have proved to be the major concern in the recent past.

However, if you’ve already installed panels at your home but your electricity usage is more than what these panels are generating, you’ll surely be worried because in that case, you have to take electricity from the grid which is not so cheap and is not affordable for most people. So, there is only one option left for you at this moment; don’t think twice and install more panels to the already existing solar system.

Let’s take a look at how you can add more panels or batteries to an already existing solar system and what are the options available for you.

Things to Take Care of While Adding More Panels

The factors to be taken care of while adding more panels may differ depending on the category in which you fall.

• Additional Space available on Your Roof

Most of the times, one may think of installing the panels which are enough to meet his/her home’s energy requirements. But they don’t know about the benefits of feed-in tariffs which are available in different cities of Australia. According to this, you may import or export extra electricity generated by your panels to national power lines and they will pay you the required amount in return. So, if you have more space available, install more panels in accordance with the available space on your roof as soon as possible to keep the things going for yourself.

• Energy Requirement

In some cases, you may observe that the electricity generated by your already existing solar system isn’t enough to meet your home’s requirements for which you may need more panels. So, the best option is to install them in already existing solar system’s neighborhood so that they may get maximum sunlight and convert it to power which will be used by you.

Apart from these, don’t forget to take a look at the size of your inverter as well as the batteries because that’s all you need to get maximum power output.
