Battery & gridBattery storage integration
Already generating solar? We integrate batteries with your current inverter or upgrade to hybrid equipment so storage works safely and efficiently with what you already own.
Battery & gridIntegrating batteries with existing solar
Battery storage integration connects new batteries to solar you already own. Compatibility depends on inverter model, age, and firmware — BlankSolar audits the system before ordering hardware.
AC-coupled storage can retrofit many installs; hybrid inverter upgrades suit properties ready to replace an ageing inverter. We configure export control and time-of-use charging where your tariff supports it.
The goal is safe, efficient storage without voiding equipment warranties through unapproved modifications.
- Compatibility audit first
- AC-coupled and hybrid pathways
- Tariff-aware configuration
- Warranty-safe installation methods
Works with your system
Compatibility checks before any hardware is ordered.
AC coupled
Retrofit batteries on many existing systems without replacing working panels. Extra conversion stage is accounted for in efficiency advice.
DC coupled
Hybrid replacements give efficient charging when your old inverter is due for renewal anyway.
Tariff ready
We advise on agile and time-of-use tariffs where automation adds value — without overpromising savings.
Integration workflow
Audit, design, install, and optimise.
Compatibility audit
Inverter model, firmware, and age are checked. We confirm whether AC coupling, hybrid swap, or full refresh is best value.

Battery storage for UK homes
A battery lets you keep solar generation for the evening instead of exporting it straight away. Here is when it helps, and what installation involves.
Export
Smart Export Guarantee, explained
The Smart Export Guarantee pays you for surplus electricity you send to the grid. Here is how it works, and why the paperwork from your installer matters.
