Upgrading to Hybrid Solar System for Greater Flexibility

Jul 15, 2025

A valued AA Solar motorhome client reached out to upgrade his existing residential solar installation. His goal was to future-proof his home energy setup with a hybrid inverter and battery storage, enabling smarter energy use and seamless integration with his EV charger.

Project Overview

We relocated the inverter from the study in the middle of our customer's home (installed by another provider) to the garage, improving both accessibility and home aesthetics. The new home solar setup now pairs perfectly with his EV charger, supporting an energy-efficient, low-carbon home.

The Results

Energy Independence: Our customer now stores excess solar energy at night or during outages, reducing reliance on the grid.
Smart Home Integration: The hybrid system works seamlessly with his EV charger, maximising the use of solar-generated power.
Improved Home Layout: Moving the inverter to the garage freed up space in the home and made system maintenance easier.
