GETTING THE MOST OUR OF YOUR SOLAR PANELS
Once you have installed your solar panels, you want to make sure that your are getting the most out of your investment.
Here are our top tips on optimising your solar panels so you can save the maximum amount possible.
Use appliances during the day
Solar panels produce electricity while the sun is shining, so you’ll want to want to use as much of your free electricity during the day.
Most appliances, such as dishwashers and washing machines now come with setting timers. This means you can set them to run during the day while your solar panels are sending free electricity to your home.
Set your appliances to run one at a time
How many appliances you can run on your free electricity is limited by the size of your solar system and the electricity needs of each appliance. By setting your appliances to run one at a time during the day, you are ensuring that they are running on electricity from your solar system.
Consider rechargeable appliances
Appliances with rechargeable batteries are a great way to get the most from your system. If you’re in the market for new appliances, consider ones that are cordless or rechargeable. You can them charged during the day and use them with battery power in the night.
Take the guess work out of it
Use an app to track how your panels are performing. Most solar apps will give you easy to understand data so you can learn when your solar system is the most productive. Once you know when your panels are generating the most energy, you can set your appliance to run at those times.
Keep em’ clean
Solar panels produce the best results when they’re clean. Most home solar panel installations are basically self cleaning, however we still recommend that you get a licensed electrician to clean your panels at least once a year.
Shop around engery providers
Electricity companies charge solar users varying fees and have wide ranging feed-in tariffs. Chances are if you’ve been with your supplier for a long time you may be missing out on some great offers and rates. Shop around, and don’t be afraid to ask your power company for a better deal.
