Can you upgrade your solar setup with battery storage?
In short: Learn the technical process of adding battery storage to an existing photovoltaic array. This video follows plumbing and heating expert Richard Trethewey as he demonstrates the professional installation steps required to expand your home's energy capacity.
To reach the battery site, extend four 12 gauge wires from a 240V breaker situated in the primary electrical panel. After securing brackets and conduit to a structure, the batteries are mounted and plugged into the bracket ports.
Because this project involves high-voltage electrical work, professional installation is recommended. Crucially, the power must be turned off at the breaker panel before any work begins.
