Collect model information, not just logos
Look in the original proposal, equipment list, monitoring app, or safely visible labels for inverter and monitoring model details. Include any existing battery, generator, or transfer equipment. If you only know the brand, send that and explain what records are missing.
Do not open an enclosure, remove a cover, or share account passwords to identify equipment. A professional can determine what additional information or site assessment is needed.
Explain what compatible should mean for you
You may want to store solar energy for later use, support selected circuits during an outage, or include more of the home in backup. Ask the installer to confirm the intended function for the complete configuration rather than only whether a battery can be connected.
Also explain whether the existing solar must remain unchanged. A proposal that requires replacing equipment is a different project from one that preserves the current arrangement.
Request a clear compatibility record
| Item | What the proposal should identify |
|---|---|
| Existing system | The equipment and arrangement used for the review. |
| Proposed battery | Exact model and quantity, with the required associated equipment. |
| Intended operation | Which normal and outage functions the design supports. |
| Required changes | Equipment, controls, electrical work, or records that must change. |
| Manufacturer conditions | Any product-specific installation or support requirements. |
Confirm support before buying equipment
Do not buy a discounted battery on the assumption that any solar contractor can install and support it. Ask about the complete configuration, product availability, installer requirements, and responsibility for owner-supplied equipment before purchasing.
Sun Ray reviews battery requests across DFW, but this page is not a promise to install every model or a claim of manufacturer certification. Share the equipment and goals so supported options and the work scope can be confirmed before a quote is approved.
