[H2] How to Size Battery Storage for an Existing Solar Installation
When determining how to size battery storage for an existing solar installation, the good news is it’s easy to retrofit a solar battery to an existing solar panel system to maximize your customer’s solar setup’s potential. The two most important considerations are the specifications of the system and how much storage your customer needs.
The best way to determine the battery storage your installation needs is to gather information from your client about their usage. You want to know how much solar their panels generate, how much electricity the house is using, and how much solar is being exported out to the grid.
All these criteria are important, but the most important when calculating solar battery storage needs is arguably how much solar energy your clients use when the sun’s not shining, specifically from when the sun sets to when it rises the next morning. Each client will have different needs.
A customer who works from home, for example, will need greater storage than one who leaves to work every day and uses virtually no energy until the evening. Alternatively, a customer needing to charge electric vehicles will need a great deal more storage than one who won’t. On that note, it’s not advisable to charge electric vehicles from a battery system because there are too many power inversions.
It’s also important to consider their seasonal needs. During colder months, how much energy will they need to heat their house? During warmer months, how much energy do they need to run their AC unit? These are essential questions to answer when sizing battery storage.
So, to determine this, you need to look at data for different days and seasonal trends and find an average figure between how much solar they import and export. This average will dictate their needs. Your goal should be enabling them to store the power they would have otherwise exported to the grid.
But we understand that this can be difficult to calculate. That’s why we provide installers with a tool to help with determining what size storage your customer needs called Solar Data Pros. We also monitor the battery performance to ensure you provide customer service with sky-high wattage.
When you partner with NeoVolta, you partner with a one-stop shop that can supply you with affordable, installer-friendly solar storage batteries with peak performance. If necessary, you can easily add battery capacity using our products without the added expense of another inverter.
