Solar system upgrades for existing Canberra homes

Solar systems are not one-size-fits-all forever. An upgrade can make sense if your home or usage has changed since your original install.

You might benefit from a solar upgrade if:

• Your solar system is older and no longer producing what it used to
  
  
• Your household energy use has increased over time
  
  
• You’ve added heating, cooling or an electric vehicle
  
  
• Your inverter is undersized or nearing the end of its lifespan
  
  
• You’re planning to add a battery and want the system ready
  
  

If you’re not sure whether an upgrade is worthwhile, we’ll talk it through with you first. Sometimes small changes make a big difference, and sometimes the existing system is still doing its job just fine.

Upgrades done properly

Upgrading an existing system takes more care than starting from scratch. Our approach is to understand what you already have, how it’s performing, and what will genuinely improve it.

We start with a proper assessment, including:

• A check of your existing panels, inverter and switchboard
  
  
• Advice on what can be reused and what should be replaced
  
  
• Safety and compliance checks against current standards
  
  
• Upgrade work carried out by licensed electricians
  
  

We’ll explain what’s worth upgrading and what isn’t, so you’re not paying for unnecessary changes or future problems.
