4 Easy Summer Tips to Help Solar Owners Get More Energy

Tip 1 : Clean Your Solar Panels

Regularly wash your panels to ensure they’re free of dust and debris for maximum efficiency.

Dirty solar panels can reduce their efficiency by 20% to 30% depending on the amount of dirt, dust, or debris accumulated.

Tip 2: Run Pool Pumps and Heavy Appliances at Midday

It’s no secret that solar systems produce the most energy between 11:00 AM and 2:00 PM.

Simply setting your timer to run heavy appliances, like the pool pump, during this peak time can make a big difference in your energy bill.

Tip 3: Set Your Battery System to 20% Depth of Discharge

Depth of discharge (DoD) indicates how much energy you can draw from your battery. Depending on the brand, you can set it as low as 10%.

Recently, many of our clients have old settings saved because of load shedding.

Tip 4: Keep an Eye on the App and Check Connection Points

As a solar system homeowner, it’s important to regularly monitor your app to ensure everything is running smoothly. Login once a week at minimum.

Conducting a visual inspection of your connection points—especially fuses, breakers, and wire connections—allows you to quickly spot any physical issues.
