Solar System Upgrades
If You Already Have a Solar System, Why Should You Upgrade it?
Technology has come a long way. Older solar PV panels were less efficient and generated less power than today’s advanced systems. Over time, the cells in your existing panels may have degraded, reducing their effectiveness even further.
If your household energy use has increased—perhaps due to a growing family, more devices, or greater day-to-day demands—an upgrade could be a smart move. With energy costs continuing to rise, modern panels offer improved performance and better long-term value.
Adding a Solar Battery Storage System to your existing Solar PV System allows you to store excess solar energy for later use, maximizing your solar panel’s potential and potentially reducing your reliance on the grid. A Solar Battery Storage System can also be fitted on its own, without Solar Panels. This can lead to lower energy bills, increased energy independence, and a reduced carbon footprint.
A Solar Battery Storage System allows you to benefit from charging using the cheap night time electricity rates on offer, currently as low as 7p per Kwh. This enables your whole house to run on the stored cheap night time rate electricity throughout each and every day.

How Do You Know if You Need an Upgrade or Not?
There are a few key signs that your solar panels may need attention. Start by checking their physical condition—look for visible damage such as cracks, scratches, rust, discolouration, or any frayed or damaged cables and connections.
It’s also important to monitor your system’s output over time. If your panels are consistently producing less than 80% of their expected output, even on bright, sunny days, your system could be underperforming and may benefit from maintenance or an upgrade.
In Which Ways can we Upgrade Your Solar System?
- By adding extra panels: Increase your system’s capacity to generate more electricity.
- By replacing your existing panels: Upgrade to newer, more efficient technology.
- By adding solar battery storage: Store excess energy for use during evenings or cloudy days.
- By replacing your inverter: Ensure optimal energy conversion with a modern, high-efficiency inverter.
- By repairing or replacing damaged components: Address any signs of wear, deterioration, or damage to maintain system performance.
