With longer days and plenty of sunshine, summer is the perfect time to get the most out of your solar panels. More daylight hours mean more free energy, so why not make sure your system is working as efficiently as possible? Here are some easy ways to keep your solar panels performing at their best this summer.
- Give Your Panels a Clean
A build-up of dust, pollen, or bird droppings can reduce your panels’ efficiency. A quick rinse with water or a professional clean will help keep them absorbing as much sunlight as possible.
- Time Your Energy Use Wisely
With the sun shining for longer, try to run appliances like washing machines, dishwashers, and air conditioning during daylight hours. This way, you’ll use the power you generate rather than drawing from the grid.
- Keep an Eye on Performance
Most solar systems have monitoring tools to track how much energy they’re producing. Checking in on your system regularly helps spot any potential issues before they become a bigger problem.
- Make the Most of Battery Storage
If you have a solar battery, now’s the time to optimise how you use it. Store excess energy during the day so you can use it in the evening, cutting down on grid electricity costs.
- Book a Solar Health Check
Like anything else, your solar system needs a little maintenance now and then. A quick professional check-up can make sure everything is working properly and at full capacity.
- Thinking About an Upgrade?
With summer bringing peak solar production, it could be a good time to expand your system or add a battery. Whether you’re looking to increase your energy independence or lower bills further, we can help you find the best solution.
