How To Effectively Maximize Your Solar System on Rainy or Cloudy Days

Installing solar power systems remains a good choice for alternative power in this present day and time. Rainy and cloudy days should not take away that assurance it gives when you have it.

 

We’ve carefully thought about how you can better maximize this system when it’s raining or cloudy. Here is what you should do.

 

 

  1. Ensure Proper Panel Positioning 

Nothing must be guarding the path of sun rays, be it trees or other obstacles to your panels, because there is not enough sun time during a rainy day, so you must utilize the limited amount of sunlight to its full potential.

Proper placement will ensure that your solar panels can absorb the most amount of energy. And for proper placements of the panels, you should hire professionals.

 

  1.  

  2. Increase the Number of Panels 

The more panels you install, the more electricity your system will produce. So if you want to install solar power in your space, do well to install the maximum number of panels that is appropriate for the power you will need in your space and take into consideration other equipment ratings. 

If considering cost, you can always upgrade your system by adding more panels before the rainy or cloudy days.

  2. Use Durable and High-Efficiency Panels

Solar panel efficiency refers to the percentage of sunlight the panel will convert into electricity. So a panel with an efficiency rating of 20% will convert 20% of the sunlight that hits it into power. 

Panels with higher efficiencies are more expensive, but they’ll produce more energy, which in turn will provide greater savings on your energy bills. 

 

  1.  

  2. Keep Solar Panels Clean

The best time to clean your panels is in the dry season, when the dust is so much, covering the surface of the panels. As the rain comes pouring down, it adds to the washing of the face of the panels, ensuring they are clean and clear for effective use. 

 

  1.  

  2. Invest in More Batteries 

The solar power system comes with a battery or batteries in the setup, depending on the capacity of the system. As professionals, we advise that as you decide to have a solar installation in your home or office, invest in a higher number of batteries or use batteries with higher capacity as well as panels and other materials needed for a complete installation. This is to ensure you have a good amount of energy stored in your batteries for night use, especially during rainy or cloudy days. 

 

  1.  

  2. Reduce the Number of Devices

For those who want to save cost to the barest minimum, instead of adding several panels on the roof or getting more batteries, reduce the number of devices in your homes or office that are connected to the system. Good enough, the weather is usually cold on rainy days, which makes it easier to reduce the number of devices used. 

 

In conclusion, all these have been put together to help you maximize and enjoy the comfort and guarantee solar power gives in these seasons.
