Understanding Retrofit Application in Solar Systems
What Does Retrofit Mean?
In the context of solar energy systems, retrofitting refers to the process of adding new technology or features to existing installations without completely replacing them. This can include integrating a more advanced inverter, adding battery storage, or expanding the number of solar panels to increase energy production.
Challenges of Retrofitting Solar Systems
Retrofitting a solar system presents several challenges, primarily compatibility with existing components and the ability to adapt to the current system’s configuration and capacity. The ideal retrofit solution should seamlessly integrate with the old system while bringing new functionalities and improving overall performance.
