5 ways to optimize your solar panel performance in 2024

In 2023, Electricity Rates Jumped up to 22.18 Rupees per Unit Due to Fuel Price Adjustments and Surcharges!

Today we are going to let you know how you can beat these rising costs by optimizing your solar panel performance and taking control of your energy bills. Since the unending series of taxes being imposed on the Electricity rates in Pakistan, people tend towards more cheap and sustainable electricity has unprecedently surge to its maximum.

Yeah, you guess it right, we are talking about Solar Energy.

And that is the reason, in 2023, Pakistan has seen almost 17 % increase in the overall solar system installation. So, what change it brings in people behaviors? Well, as they have installed the solar system to reduce their electricity prices.

Now they want to know the ways that enhances their solar panels efficieny and performacne for better result and less reliance on the Grid station, ultimately reducing more price on electricy bills.

Today we will be exploring the 5 best ways using with you can optimize your solar panel efficieny. However, It is essential to remember that some of these methods should be implemented even before installing your solar panels to ensure optimal performance. but before knowing the methods, you need to understand how solar panel works in Pakistan. You can read our guide on why solar panel is important for Pakistan.

the working of solar PV system in Pakistan is as simple and complicated at the same time. How? Lets try to find out how. If we closely examine the system, it is made of different components (Panels, Inverters and batteries) and every part play a crucial role in producing optimum solar energy.

When the sun rays hit on solar panels, the silicon made power generator observe the sun rays and produce electricity in DC form. And to convert the DC current into AC that is used for home appliance, solar inverters are used. Make sure you always select the good quality solar panels as the efficiency highly rely on the solar panels efficiency rate.

You can read our guide on which solar inverter is best for your home. The batteries are used to Stroe the extra produced electricity for use at night or during a power outage.

Are you aware the fact that a little shade can affect the whole panel performance. Therefore, when you plan to install the panels, make sure your building does not get any shade. With zero shaded area, your whole system performance will get to 100 percent.

Alpha solar recommends you to select a higher place, top roof of your house for solar panels installation to avoid any sort of shade and ultimately the reduction in the system performance.

Don’t you want your solar panels produce 10-15% extra electricity? you definitely do. This becomes possible when you let the experts handle your panel installation.

For consultation and to know which system is best for your home, get free advice from our experts.

The efficiency of soalr panels highly depends on the direction in which the panels are installed. And the local installers have often no idea what direction can bring or waste into your pocket.

If the panels are installed properly, keeping in mind the location and number of sun hours your building get daily, they expose to solar energy and ultimately produce more energy and optimize your energy efficiency.

Properly cleaned solar panels, according to a report, can produce nearly 20 percent more energy If you live in a dusty area.

Because the dust stops sun rays hitting the panels surface which result in less energy production. So, it’s up to you to make your panels cleaned and not let any debris, birds dropping and dust on the panels surface.

Even a simple water cleaning can enhance the solar panel efficiency. so clean your panels not pocket with higher electricity price.

There aren’t any other opinion solar panels require very low maintenance, still if you keep checking the system performance, it will produce electricy for longer period of time and produce more energy at optimum rate.

And to not regret on system performance, you need to contact wit experts to check the maintenance of your system.

As we mentioned earlier, the higher quality components play a very crucial role in overall Solar system performance. Make sure you choose the technological advance solar panels, batteries, and inverters.

The most suitable solar system for your home depends on your energy needs and monthly electricity consumption. To determine the best fit, assess your energy usage through electricity bills. In the table below, we’ve identified solar system sizes that align with your energy requirements based on monthly electricity units.

If we sum it up in the simple manner, one can say that the unending rise in electricity prices have compelled common man to shift to Solar Energy. and surprisingly they have not stopped here, people want to know how they can get maximum from the solar panels. this guide tried its best to guide people what ways they can optimize their solar energy efficieny with 5 easy and smart ways.
