As environmental pollution and the energy crisis become increasingly severe, the solar panel system, as a green and renewable energy source, is gaining more and more attention. However, many people find that the actual power generation does not meet their expectations after installing PV power systems. So, how can we improve the efficiency of solar panel systems? Here are some practical tips for the potential issues referred to in the solar panel system for your reference.
Set the Installation Angle Reasonably
The angle of the solar panels is a crucial factor affecting electricity generation of the solar energy. Generally, installing solar panels at a 30-40 degree angle facing south can achieve the highest solar power output. However, different geographical locations and climatic conditions can also influence the optimal angle. Therefore, you’d better consult with professionals before installation to plan the angle reasonably in order to maximize solar radiation exposure in your place.
Choose Premium Solar Panels
The efficiency and quality of solar panels directly impact the amount of electricity generated. When purchasing solar panels, you’d better choose panels from well-known, tier-1, grade-A, and reliable brands. Additionally, you can consider the use of high-efficiency solar panels, as they are better at absorbing sunlight throughout the day and converting it into electrical energy HBOWA can offer you brand solar panels such as Jinko, JA, Longi, Trina, and so on. Feel free to contact us for bulk prices.
Keep the Solar Panels Clean
The cleanliness of the surface of solar panels has a crucial impact on their electricity generation efficiency. Dust, dirt, and other pollutants can block sunlight from the solar panels, reducing the power output of the PV panels. Therefore, you’d better regularly clean the solar panels to improve their electricity generation. You can use a soft cloth to wipe the surface of the panels, please keep in mind that do not use chemicals or abrasive cleaners during the cleaning process. We suggest cleaning your solar panels at least once a year, if you live in areas where there is more dust and debris, then you need to clean them more often.
Inspect And Maintain the Electrical Equipment
The operational status of solar systems parts also greatly impacts the power generation of whole solar systems. Therefore, electrical equipment, including solar inverters, combine boxes, DC cables, and AC cables, should be regularly inspected and maintained. Ensure they are functioning properly without any faults or issues. If any abnormalities are detected, you need to replace them on time. Here we suggest the checking cycle to be about twice per year, and more check times would be better.
Install Sunshade Facilities
In certain regions, the intense summer sunlight and prolonged direct exposure can cause the temperature of the solar panels to rise, thereby reducing their electricity generation efficiency. To solve this problem, we suggest you install shade nets above the solar panels, this can reduce direct sunlight exposure and lower the temperature of the pv panels, thereby improving their electricity generation efficiency.
Set Solar Batteries Reasonably
Solar batteries, as energy storage parts, are an important component of solar systems, capable of effectively increasing the power generation of PV stations. By properly configuring solar batteries, the balance between the power generation of PV stations and power consumption can be achieved, reducing energy waste and reducing your electricity bills. Additionally, solar batteries can provide power support during periods of insufficient sunlight, such as at night or on cloudy days, ensuring the normal operation of solar power systems. HBOWA offers you two types of solar batteries: lead acid batteries and lithium lifepo4 batteries, each type has its features, and you can choose one according to your detailed needs.
Monitoring And Maintaining The Solar System Regularly
By regularly monitoring and maintaining the photovoltaic power system, potential issues can be identified and resolved promptly, ensuring the system’s efficient operation, and thus saving money for the whole solar system. For example, you can inspect the connections and mounting structures of the photovoltaic panels regularly to ensure they are secure and reliable; The solar systems we sell have monitoring software with WIFI and GPSR functions, APP installed on your phone, the APP can help you to check and monitor the work status of the solar system, help you identify the potential damage on the parts of the system on time before they become big problems.
Conclusion
To increase solar panel system efficiency, multiple aspects need to be addressed. You can refer to the tips above to realize better green power utilization and environment-friendly efficiency. With proper installed and maintained, the solar panel systems will work for a long time.
