If you’ve already taken the leap into solar, you’re ahead of the curve, and you’re not alone. Millions of homeowners have embraced solar power in recent years, but there’s one major piece of the puzzle many didn’t add at the start: a battery.
Here’s the good news:
You can add battery storage to an existing solar system, and it’s easier (and smarter) than ever.
At NeoVolta, we’ve made it our mission to help homeowners upgrade their energy systems without the headache. If you’re wondering whether a battery makes sense for your solar setup, here’s everything you need to know.
Why Add a Battery Now?
When you first installed solar, battery storage might not have been available, or affordable. But times have changed.
Adding a battery to your solar system can help you:
Keep the lights on during power outages
Store your extra solar energy for later use (instead of sending it back to the grid for pennies)
Save more money by avoiding expensive peak-time utility rates
Gain energy independence from your local power company
Put simply: a battery turns your solar system from a daytime-only solution into a 24/7 energy powerhouse.
Is Your Current Solar Setup Compatible?
The short answer? Most likely, yes.
But it depends on the battery system you choose.
NeoVolta is designed to be one of the most retrofit-friendly battery systems on the market. Whether your solar uses microinverters, string inverters, or optimizers, our AC-coupled design integrates seamlessly, no need to tear apart your roof or start from scratch.
Planning a full upgrade or new solar panels? We’ve got you covered there too with DC compatibility.
