There are typically two types of systems to consider if you want to retrofit a battery to solar panel systems. You could opt for a DC coupled system or a Dynamic system with AC coupled inputs. Our friendly team are on hand and ready to go through the pros and cons of each type of system to see which best suits your home in Corby.

DNA Father & Sons Electrical like to discuss the battery options available with our clients to make sure you choose the right one for your home and suitable to your budget. Lead acid batteries are slightly cheaper but don’t have the capacity to store large amounts of energy. Lithium ion batteries are popular amongst homeowners as they are effective but more expensive.

We want to make the process as stress free as possible so we prefer to guide you through the whole process of retrofitting a battery to solar panels at your home from start to completion.

Can you retrofit a battery to solar panels? Consider the following:

Most batteries have a life span of around 10 years, take into consideration that solar panels have a 25-30 year shelf life so you may need to replace the battery once or twice within this period.

Ideal locations for a solar battery are the loft or attic or even a garage if you have one.

The battery you do install will of course need to be compatible with the solar panel system you have. Our certified electricians will assist you with choosing a suitable battery manufacture as we only use brands we trust.
