Connecting an Existing System

You already have solar panels, a battery, or charging stations. Find out what options are available for connecting your existing system to Covolt Horizon—and what you might need to do so.

Discuss your installation ↗

Does this sound familiar to you?

  • You want a better understanding of your system's performance.
  • You use different brands or systems side by side.
  • You want to know which hardware you can keep.
  • You're considering a new service, but you're not sure if your system is compatible with it.

Building on what you already have

An existing system is the starting point. It’s not about whether you need something new, but rather what’s already in place and what’s possible with it.

Covolt evaluates the brands, models, available interfaces, and your goals. Based on that, we determine whether and how monitoring and control are possible. Being brand-independent means we can work with different systems—not that every installation will be compatible without modifications.

Which coupling is right for your system?

Covolt Horizon combines monitoring and control. How an existing system is connected to it depends on what is already in place and which interfaces are available.

Control Box

The Covolt Control Box is a hardware solution that is added to your existing system. Its applications depend on the inverters, batteries, and charging infrastructure you have in place.

EMS API

For systems with their own management interface, the Horizon EMS API offers an integration option. Whether this applies depends on the specifications of your current systems.

What can you keep?

This is the question we’ll answer together. There is no set list of guarantees, because the options depend on the make and model of your inverter(s), the presence and specifications of any battery storage, the available communication interfaces, and the desired services.

Covolt assesses which parts are usable and what modifications may be necessary. We do not guarantee full compatibility until we have assessed your installation.

From Inventory to Linkage

01 / Assessment

Please provide us with the brands, models, and intended uses of your system. We'll determine which connectors are available and suitable.

02 / Review

We determine whether monitoring and/or control are possible, and what adjustments are needed to make that happen.

03 / Commissioning

Once approved, the integration will be implemented and configured in Covolt Horizon.

Frequently Asked Questions

That depends on the brand, model, and available connection. Covolt will assess which parts are usable and what modifications may be necessary. We do not guarantee compatibility until we have reviewed your situation.
The brands and models of your systems, information about your existing control systems—inverters, batteries, charging stations—and your goals form the starting point for our discussion.
Then we'll discuss what changes are needed and what that means in terms of costs and the timeline. In some cases, a partial integration is already sufficient to meet your objective.
Not automatically. Whether hardware can be retained depends on its specifications and available interfaces—not just its age. We evaluate each situation on a case-by-case basis.
What if I have multiple locations? Covolt manages installations at multiple locations. We assess which connections are appropriate for each location.
