Your solar system is already doing great things, like lowering your electricity bill, reducing carbon emissions, and powering your home with clean energy. But did you know a few small seasonal tweaks can help you get even more out of your system?

Here are five simple tips to help you maximise solar efficiency year-round:

Dust, pollen, or bird droppings can block sunlight and reduce efficiency. A quick rinse with a hose once in a while can help. For hard-to-reach panels, we recommend a professional cleaning.

Trees grow, and even a small amount of shade can affect output. Do a quick visual check each season and trim branches if needed.

Your monitoring app (like Solarman, VRM or MySigen) is your best friend. Keep an eye out for sudden dips in performance or error messages. If you notice anything off, we’re here to help!

On overcast days when solar production is low, you can give your battery a little top up from the grid if you have off-peak power rates. Use this battery power at peak times for extra savings!

A battery system lets you store excess solar energy to use at night or during outages. If you haven’t got some already, it’s a smart upgrade for energy independence and more savings.

Remember, your solar energy system was built to last 25+ years. With just a little seasonal awareness, you can keep it running at peak performance the all year round
