We are one of the best solar power installation Boulder companies, and we advise you to do the following things after your solar panels are installed.
Check if the installed meter can take care of net metering
The electric utility company is supposed to credit solar panel owners for excess electricity generated through “net metering.” Therefore, ensure that your meter can regularly track energy flowing into the grid and from the grid to your home electricity.
Shift Load
Now that you can generate your own electricity, you can choose how to utilize it best. For example, it might be a good idea to turn on the dishwasher in the morning when it can be powered by solar energy. Charge devices or use energy-intensive equipment when the sun is shining to use electricity generated from your solar panels, which would mean lower electricity costs.
Maintain your solar panels
Like any appliance, solar panels require regular maintenance to function at optimal efficiency. Start by carefully examining all exterior equipment, wires, and mounting structures after the first heavy rain or windstorm to check for issues. Spot-check connections to make sure nothing has come loose. Scan panels and frames for damage, looking closely at edges and junction boxes. Report any problems immediately. Beyond initial inspections, regularly follow your installer’s recommendations for maintenance. That may include spray washing panels two or three times per year to remove dirt, dust, bird droppings, pollen, and other debris that creates build-up, reducing energy absorption from sunlight.
Monitor your solar system
After Solar Panel Installation Boulder, check your electricity bill to find details of your solar energy consumption. If usage is the same, the monthly outgo should typically be lower.
With current government incentives, there has never been a better time to go solar. Not only will you save money monthly, but choosing a local Solar Panel Installation Boulder company such as The Solar Revolution means it won't cost you anything to get started.
