Increasing Energy Production: How to Add Solar Panels to an Existing System
The Blue Raven Solar Retrofit Process
Solar panel installations completed by Blue Raven Solar can easily be added to. Using the latest technology and your typical consumption, we design and install additional panels to reach a specified goal. We guarantee your system will produce the projected kilowatt hours as expected using the following measurements:
- For 3 consecutive months, your system has been producing less than 50% of the projected output
- For 18 consecutive months, your system has been producing 15% less than the projected output
If your system is not producing as much energy as estimated, we will add more panels or pay you for the deficit. For more information about this process, reach out to our customer support team by calling 1-800-377-4480 or emailing support@blueravensolar.com.
Once a solar project has been reopened, the homeowner will need to send in recent utility bills for permitting purposes and to analyze energy usage month after month. If it has only been a few months since installation, the project will likely be put on hold, as it is normal for production to fluctuate throughout the year. However, depending on how net metering policies work in your area, it might make more sense for us to retrofit a battery than it does to add panels to your system. This is a case-by-case decision, and our experts can help you make the best decision for your home.
If a retrofit is approved, the rest of the project is like the original solar process, and all milestones are completed again. Another site survey is required, and because of city and utility permitting, the process typically takes 1-3 months, from start to finish.
