Switching to solar power is a game-changer, but are you making the most of it? With the right upgrades, you can boost efficiency, cut costs, and take control of your energy use.

Power Optimisers & Microinverters

Traditional systems use a single inverter, meaning one underperforming panel can reduce the output of your entire array. Power optimisers adjust each panel’s output for better efficiency, while microinverters convert electricity at each panel, improving performance and allowing easier system expansion.

Battery Storage: Use Solar Energy Anytime

A solar battery stores excess electricity for use when your panels aren’t generating power. Instead of exporting energy to the grid, you can use it in the evening or during outages, reducing your reliance on the grid. Modern batteries, like the Tesla Powerwall 3, offer impressive storage and long lifespans.

Solar Immersion Controllers: Free Hot Water

A solar immersion controller, like the MyEnergi Eddi, redirects surplus power to heat water instead of sending it to the grid. Costing around £500, it’s a simple way to increase self-consumption and cut water heating bills.

Smart Monitoring: Track & Optimise Energy Use

Smart meters and monitoring apps provide real-time insights into energy production and consumption, helping you adjust usage and save more. Some systems even predict generation based on weather forecasts.

Solar EV Chargers: Charge for Free

If you own an electric vehicle, a solar-compatible charger lets you power your car directly from your panels, reducing charging costs. Advanced models prioritise solar energy and balance grid power when needed.

Choosing the Right Upgrades

Your best add-ons depend on your energy habits:

• Use power in the evening? A battery is ideal.
• High hot water demand? An immersion controller saves money.
• Want maximum panel efficiency? Power optimisers or microinverters help.
