Most households and businesses across the country already have solar panels installed. They are a reliable green energy source that can lower utility bills, reduce carbon footprint, and allow you to create extra income.
Use energy when generation is at its highest
Try to use your appliances during the day when your solar panels are generating the most energy. Peak generation is between the hours of 11 a.m. and 3 p.m., so this is the ideal time to use appliances such as the washing machine.
Pair your solar panels with a home battery
It's important that you pair your solar system with a battery as an additional backup. You can use or save any excess energy for later, especially if you are not at home during the day when your solar panels are generating. Batteries mean you can use more of your renewable energy and less from the grid, saving you money.
Keep solar panels well-maintained.
Solar panels generally don't need much maintenance, as the rain removes most debris and dust. However, it's important that you clean your solar panels every year to avoid debris buildup and, most importantly, ensure that your panels are efficient all year round.
Use your solar panels to charge your EV
If you have an electric vehicle, what better way to charge it than with solar power? An easy way to do this is to schedule your car to charge when the sun is out and shining.
Overall, ensuring that you are summer-ready is massively important for your solar panels, not only ensuring your panels are running efficiently but also making sure that you are getting the most out of your income.
