When Should You Upgrade Your Solar System? Arise Solar Explained

Many customers who installed their solar panel systems years ago often ask us about the best time to upgrade or change their current systems to maximize benefits. We understand that investing in solar can be costly, but upgrading your system over time can help you save and earn more. As one of Australia’s leading solar retailers, Arise Solar is here to guide you on when and how to upgrade your solar system to generate more power than before. 

Reduced Energy Production 

If you notice a significant drop in energy production compared to previous performance, it’s important to contact your solar consultant and get your system checked before it’s too late. If the expert suggests changing the inverter or the system, it could be beneficial for your future energy savings. 

Inverter and Panel Age 

Typically, a solar inverter has a lifespan of approximately 10-12 years. After that, it might slow down and reduce productivity. In such cases, upgrading your solar inverter to one that is compatible with your panels is a wise decision. If your solar panels are older than 20 years, it’s time to upgrade them, as their performance usually decreases significantly after this age. 

Increased Energy Consumption 

If you’ve added heavy appliances to your property, such as a new air conditioner, EV chargers, or a heater, your energy consumption has likely increased. Your current solar system may not be able to capture enough energy to meet these new demands, leading you to rely on the grid and incur higher costs. Adding extra panels to accommodate higher energy usage is a good solution. 

Advanced Technology Means Advanced Savings 

The solar market is rapidly growing, with innovative products continually entering the market, helping customers save more money. If you need to change or upgrade your panels sooner or later, opt for the most advanced solar system available for your rooftop.  

Safety Concerns 

Outdated safety features in your system can cause constant worry about potential issues like fire, panel burnout, or power cuts. It’s essential to get your system checked frequently to prevent unwanted incidents and ensure safety.
