Can you retrofit an energy storage system? You can easily retrofit a power storage unit. Most photovoltaic systems can also be supplemented with a storage system years after installation. This is
System DesignInstallationChoosing A Battery Based InverterInvestment Tax CreditMost existing PV system are tied into the main service panel of the building. In some instances the point of interconnection is on a subpanel or a load-side connection of the service conductors. Whatever the case, to retrofit an AC coupled storage system, the PV inverter must be installed such that it is isolated from the grid during an outage by t...See more on greentechrenewables
Like any new technique in large scale alternative energy, it would be naïve to assume retrofitting storage in an existing PV plant is an “off the shelf solution.”
As grid outages increase and net-metering policies shift, this large installed base of solar-only homes now represents one of the most under-appreciated growth opportunities in residential solar:
