Increase Solar Energy Efficiency By Checking for Shading
Did you know that shading causes lower performance from your solar panels? Shading on solar panels definitely prevents solar energy efficiency. With just a few simple tricks, you can get optimal energy production from your solar panels by checking for shading.
Just like how plants need to be in full sun for optimal growth, solar panels also need to be in full sun to output optimal energy. So, shading on solar panels can reduce that effectiveness as well as the solar energy efficiency. The energy output from your solar system will be dramatically reduced if the solar panels are experiencing any shading during the day. Even partial shading can dramatically reduce the output of energy and performance from the solar panels. Any kind of shade means less energy being absorbed from the sun. Don’t let shading be a deterrent to more solar energy for you. Some solar incentive programs available can reduce the incentives given to you if your solar system is impacted by any shading, such as the California Solar Initiative (CSI). How do you check for shading? Check to make sure that no large trees are causing any shading on any of your solar panels. If overgrowths of trees are causing shading issues, make sure to trim them down. Or, for an easier fix, make sure to keep
shaded trees away from your solar panels altogether. By doing so, you can acquire optimal solar energy from clear solar panels.
Just by checking for shading on your solar panels you will ensure better solar energy efficiency. No shading means better performance from your solars panels and more solar energy for you. Take care of your solar investment and keep those shades away from your solar panels. Let the sun shine brightly on them and you will see the energy production sky rocket from your solar panels.
