We are solar PV experts who specialise in the installation of upgrades for residential and commercial PV systems. We primarily deal with the installation of battery storage solutions for solar PV, but we also offer a variety of other upgrade services suitable for any home or business.
At SOLAR PV UPGRADE, we understand that every home and energy need is unique. That's why our team of experts will work closely with you to design a battery storage solution tailored specifically to your requirements. From selecting the right battery technology to ensuring a seamless installation process, we handle every aspect with professionalism and expertise.
Solar PV, or solar photovoltaic, is a technology that converts sunlight into electricity using special devices called solar cells. These cells are usually grouped together to form solar panels.
When sunlight hits the solar panels, the cells inside them capture the energy from the sun and turn it into electricity. This electricity can be used to power homes, businesses, or even be fed into the electrical grid.
Solar PV systems are typically installed on rooftops or in sunny areas to make the most of the sunlight. They are a clean and renewable source of energy that helps reduce reliance on fossil fuels and decreases harmful greenhouse gas emissions.
In simpler terms, solar PV is a way to harness sunlight and turn it into electricity, providing a clean and sustainable energy source.
We at SOLAR PV UPGRADE specialize in the installation of solar battery storage systems, but there are several upgrades available for Solar PV systems that can enhance their performance, efficiency, and functionality. Here are some common upgrades:
Additional Solar Panels: Increasing the number of solar panels in your system can generate more electricity, allowing you to offset a larger portion of your energy consumption or even sell excess electricity back to the grid.
Solar Optimizers or Microinverters: Traditional Solar PV systems use a single inverter for the entire array, which can be affected by shading or panel mismatch. Optimizers or microinverters can be added to each solar panel to maximize the energy production of individual panels and improve overall system performance.
Battery Storage: Adding battery storage to your Solar PV system allows you to store excess energy generated during the day and use it at night or during power outages. This enhances energy independence and provides backup power.
Solar Tracking Systems: Solar panels are typically fixed in one position, but solar tracking systems can be installed to follow the sun's path throughout the day. This increases the amount of sunlight captured and can significantly boost energy production.
Monitoring and Control Systems: Upgrading to advanced monitoring and control systems provides real-time insights into the performance of your Solar PV system. It allows you to track energy production, monitor individual panel performance, and identify any issues for prompt maintenance.
Smart Energy Management Systems: Integrating your Solar PV system with smart energy management systems enables optimized energy consumption. These systems can intelligently distribute solar energy to power specific devices or appliances when they are most needed, maximizing self-consumption and reducing reliance on the grid.
Electric Vehicle (EV) Charging Stations: If you own an electric vehicle, adding EV charging stations to your Solar PV system allows you to charge your vehicle using clean solar energy. It promotes sustainability by reducing reliance on fossil fuels for transportation.
Energy Efficiency Upgrades: Alongside your Solar PV system, consider upgrading your home or business with energy-efficient appliances, LED lighting, insulation, and smart thermostats. These upgrades complement your solar system and help further reduce overall energy consumption.
Solar PV systems do not necessarily require batteries, although they can be used in combination with battery storage for certain applications.
Adding batteries to a solar PV system enables energy storage. Excess electricity generated during the day can be stored in the batteries instead of being sent back to the grid. This stored energy can then be used during times when the solar panels are not producing enough electricity, such as at night or during power outages. Battery storage allows you to increase self-consumption of solar energy, reduce reliance on the grid, and provide backup power.
Don't let excess solar energy go to waste. Embrace the power of battery storage and unlock the full potential of your solar PV system. Contact SOLAR PV UPGRADE today to learn more about how our battery storage solutions can revolutionize your energy consumption and bring you one step closer to a sustainable and self-sufficient future.
A battery storage system for your solar PV offers the following benefits:
Energy Independence: Use stored solar energy at night or during outages.
Save Money: Avoid high electricity prices by using stored energy during peak periods.
Backup Power: Keep essential appliances running during blackouts.
Environmental Impact: Reduce emissions and contribute to a greener future.
Future-Proofing: Stay prepared for advancements in battery technology.
Investing in a battery storage system provides you with independence, savings, reliability, sustainability, and readiness for the future.
Rechargeable batteries have become a ubiquitous piece of technology in our daily lives. From our smartphones to electric vehicles, the benefits of these portable power sources are undeniable. At SOLAR PV UPGRADE, we harness the power of rechargeable batteries and take them to a whole new level with our advanced energy storage systems.
When it comes to our battery storage installations, we utilize cutting-edge technology to ensure optimal performance and efficiency. Our battery storage systems consist of banks of lithium-ion cells, carefully connected in series and parallel configurations. These cells work harmoniously to store as much as 14 kilowatt-hours of electricity, providing an abundant and reliable power supply for the lights and sockets of a four-bedroom house for an entire day.
At SOLAR PV UPGRADE, we not only focus on the functionality of our battery storage systems but also prioritize safety and longevity. Our installations adhere to rigorous quality standards, and we only work with reputable suppliers and manufacturers. This commitment to excellence ensures that your battery storage system operates reliably and efficiently for years to come, providing you with peace of mind and long-term value.

Solar panels are fitted onto a roof or exterior wall where they can be exposed to the most sunlight. Each panel includes solar cells which convert the sun’s energy into DC electricity which is then converted to AC electricity by an inverter. This can then be used to power your home.
Whatever you don’t use is sent back to the National Grid to be redistributed around the country. Your energy supplier will pay you for every kWh of energy you send back (which is deducted from your energy bills) but you will pay a significantly higher price per kWh when you buy it back at a later date.
So you can only use solar energy as and when it is available i.e. when the sun is shining. This means that complete independence from the National Grid isn’t a realistic option, although you can reduce the amount of power you are buying from them.
