Upgrade Options
Ways to Upgrade Your Solar
Whether you need more power, better efficiency or energy independence, we have the right upgrade for you.
Add More Panels
Expand your existing array with additional panels to generate more power and offset higher energy usage.
Inverter Upgrade
Replace an ageing or undersized inverter with a modern, more efficient unit to boost system performance.
Battery Storage
Add a home battery to store excess solar energy and use it at night, reducing your reliance on the grid.
Hybrid Inverter Conversion
Switch to a hybrid inverter that manages both solar panels and battery storage from a single unit.
Smart Monitoring
Install real-time monitoring so you can track generation, consumption and battery levels from your phone.
EV Charger Ready
Future-proof your solar setup with EV charger integration so you can charge your electric vehicle from the sun.
Assess Your System
Is It Time to Upgrade?
Solar technology has advanced rapidly over the past few years. If your system was installed more than five years ago, there is a good chance you are missing out on better performance, smarter monitoring and the ability to store energy for later use.
Here are the most common signs that your solar system is due for an upgrade:
- Your solar system is more than 5 years old
- Electricity bills are creeping back up
- Panels are underperforming or producing less than expected
- You want battery backup for blackouts
- You have purchased an electric vehicle
- Your household energy usage has increased
- Your inverter has failed or is nearing end of life
- You want to take advantage of the SA battery rebate
Energy Independence
Battery Storage Options
Adding a battery to your solar system lets you store excess energy generated during the day and use it at night or during peak tariff periods. It also provides backup power during blackouts — a real advantage in regional South Australia.
We install and recommend trusted brands including Sungrow, Tesla Powerwall, BYD and Alpha ESS. Every installation is designed to match your household consumption and solar generation.
The South Australian Home Battery Scheme offers subsidies to help reduce the upfront cost. We handle the rebate paperwork for you. Learn about the SA battery rebate.
Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I add more panels to my existing solar system?
Yes, in most cases you can expand your current system. We assess your inverter capacity, roof space and switchboard to determine the best way to add panels. If your inverter is maxed out, we may recommend an inverter upgrade or a second string.
How much does a battery storage upgrade cost?
Battery prices vary depending on the brand and capacity. A typical 10kWh home battery starts from around $8,000–$12,000 installed. With the South Australian Home Battery Scheme subsidy, you could save up to $2,000 or more. We provide a full breakdown in your free quote.
Is my solar system compatible with battery storage?
Most existing solar systems can have a battery added. If you have a standard string inverter, we can retrofit an AC-coupled battery like Tesla Powerwall. If you are upgrading your inverter at the same time, a hybrid inverter with DC-coupled battery (such as Sungrow) is often the most efficient option.
What is the SA Home Battery Scheme rebate?
The South Australian Government offers subsidies for eligible households installing approved battery systems. The rebate amount depends on your circumstances and the battery capacity. We handle all the paperwork and ensure your installation qualifies. Visit our battery rebate page for full details.
How long does a solar upgrade take to install?
A panel addition typically takes half a day. An inverter swap or battery installation usually takes a full day. If you are combining multiple upgrades — for example, new panels, a hybrid inverter and a battery — we can often complete everything in one to two days.
