Expansion and optimisation

Most older systems lose 10–25% of production to shading, poor stringing or ageing inverters. We bring it back.

When is it worth it?

  • Consumption has grown (heat pump, EV, pool) and the system is too small
  • A chimney, tree or neighbouring building shades part of the roof
  • The inverter is 8–10+ years old or has no monitoring
  • You want to add a battery to an existing system

Solutions

Huawei 1100W-P / 1300W-P, SolarEdge and Tigo per-panel optimisers; hybrid inverter upgrade; AC-coupled storage; smart-meter based export limitation; new strings.

Frequently asked questions

Can I add panels to an old system?

Yes, but expansion requires a new DSO application and the added part falls under gross metering – we take that into account in sizing.

We look at the roof, the consumption and the tariff scheme – then tell you what makes sense and what does not. No obligation.
