Need advice
We have a grid tie solar that was installed by Go Solar last year. It has 8 solar panels with 480 to 500 watts each. Now, I am planning to install battery or make it hybrid but according to my cousin, they had to replace everything and bring new panels and inverter to make it hybrid. So, they sold their panels and inverter to the new Solar installer/supplier. I understand that new inverter has to be installed because ours is not capable of doing hybrid but I got confused because even the solar panels has to be replaced to support hybrid. As far as I understand, panels aren't really needed to be replace because they should work whether hyhrid or off-grid. Just want to get insights if we can still keep our solar panels since I do not want to get it wasted or sell it for lower price. Seems not worth it.
