Environmental modification of dipole interactions has long been explored in energy transport. Here we consider the effects of a tunable graphene monolayer upon nearly H-type or J-type molecular aggregates, concentrating on the inversion of one type of coupling to the other. Modelling the graphene as being deposited on a metallic substrate, we find that as the surface conductivity of the graphene is varied, there is a corresponding change in the parameter region over which coupling inversion is predicted. This provides a route towards observing the predicted coupling inversion in a real system by dynamically changing the surface conductivity during a single run of an experiment.
