01 / Project Condition

Where does your project start?

Every residential battery system starts with the project condition. Pick yours below.

01 / New Build

Planning PV and storage together?

One hybrid inverter system, one installer, one warranty. Everything coordinated from day one.

PV + Storage TogetherHybrid Path First
Start new-build plan

02 / Retrofit

Adding storage to existing solar?

The brief starts with what is already on the roof. Compatibility determines what changes and what stays.

03 / Backup-Aware

Worried about grid outages?

Name the circuits that must stay on. Home battery backup only works when you define the critical loads first.

04 / Expansion-Ready

Expecting future demand growth?

Size the first battery for today. Keep the expansion path visible for EV charging or heat pump demand later.

A right-sized start with a clear path for future demand.

System note New-build projects let you coordinate inverter sizing, battery capacity, and backup expectations before anything is mounted.
System note Retrofit paths begin with the existing inverter and wiring. Compatibility drives whether storage can be added directly or needs a new inverter path.
System note Backup scope is a load conversation, not a battery conversation. Name the circuits that must stay on before deciding how much capacity that needs.
System note Expansion-ready systems start with the right inverter and mounting infrastructure so additional battery modules connect cleanly later.
02 / System Direction

Three decisions before any hardware.

Before you compare hybrid inverter systems or battery specs, lock these three calls.

Coupling Path
Coupling Path

The coupling path decides the rest.

A new build with PV + storage wants a hybrid path from day one. A retrofit starts with what the existing PV can carry. The battery layer only makes sense once this question is locked.

  • PV + storage together? The hybrid path keeps the brief coordinated.
  • Retrofit? Start from existing PV compatibility, not a default replacement.
  • Next route: Review the inverter family after the coupling call.

Backup Scope
Backup Scope

Backup is a load conversation.

What stays on when the grid goes down? Name the critical circuits before making sizing promises. Whole-home is a promise. Critical-load is a plan.

  • Critical loads first. Whole-home is a separate conversation.
  • Load logic in the first meeting means fewer change orders later.
  • Next route: Clarify backup expectations in the contact brief.

Capacity Growth
Capacity Growth

Start right-sized. Keep the growth path visible.

Overspec costs upfront. Undersizing costs later. Match the first install to the current load and document the growth path for EV, heat pump, or whatever is next.

  • Size the first battery for today's demand and PV behavior.
  • Future EV or heat pump? Name it now, even if install is later.
  • Next route: Choose a battery family with a growth path, not a dead end.

Residential hybrid storage system
Residential VillaHybrid Inverter · 10 kWh · Full Home Backup

Hanoi Villa — Residential Hybrid Storage

Hanoi, Vietnam

Key Proof

  • 8 kW hybrid inverter paired with 10 kWh LiFePO4 battery stack. One coordinated system from PV to backup.
  • Daily solar self-consumption above 85%. Automatic grid-outage failover without generator dispatch.
  • Remote-configuration commissioning. No site visit required for system handover.

Remote commissioning meant the local partner handled the physical install and TerraVolt dialed in the storage logic from a different time zone.

Planning & Compatibility 5

PV and storage planned together? New-build path. Adding storage to existing solar? Retrofit path. The compatibility check decides what changes.

It depends on the existing inverter and wiring. An AC-coupled path may work. Not every setup is compatible. A retrofit planning review answers this before any hardware decision.

Start with 10–15 kWh for evening self-consumption and basic backup. The right number comes from your consumption profile, not a generic average.

Backup-ready means critical loads first. Refrigeration, lighting, communications. Name those circuits, then decide if wider coverage is needed.

Size for today. Document the future. If EV charging or a heat pump is coming, the expansion path should be visible without forcing a larger first install.

Product & Technical 5

A hybrid inverter separates PV and battery control. An all-in-one ESS integrates both in one enclosure. Flexibility versus simplicity — your call.

TerraVolt uses LiFePO4 chemistry: better thermal stability, longer cycle life, and higher safety than NMC alternatives. Important when the battery lives inside the home.

Each module carries its own 10-year warranty. Stacking modules later does not reset coverage on earlier units.

A Wi-Fi or Ethernet gateway plus the TerraVolt platform gives you real-time PV, battery SOC, consumption, and grid data in one dashboard. Include monitoring in the brief from day one.

System single-line diagram, component list, backup load schedule, monitoring notes, and installation compatibility summary. Enough to start the installer conversation.
