8.8kW Solar + Hybrid Battery Retrofit in Cloverdale

Projects

Project Overview

8.8kW solar system with a Solis hybrid inverter and 15.5kWh of modular battery storage, retrofitted to an established Cloverdale home.

13600 kWh generated / year

$2450 Annual bill savings

9.8t CO2 offset / year

4.5 yrs Estimated payback

The Challenge

An established home with an older metal roof, an existing satellite dish and TV antenna to work around, and a switchboard that needed upgrading before any storage could be connected safely.

The Solution

We upgraded the switchboard, then laid out 20 panels across the north face, working cleanly around the existing roof fixtures. A Solis hybrid inverter was wall-mounted in the garage alongside three modular battery units, each protected by bollards and positioned for easy future expansion.

The Result

The retrofit took two days including the switchboard upgrade. The owners now self-consume around 85% of what they generate, and the modular battery setup leaves room to add a fourth unit when their EV arrives.
