I'm living in a flat without balcony on the second floor. I'm not allowed to modify the building stock, like drilling holes into exterior walls. Nonetheless, I want to use solar energy to cover the base load of my flat. Over the last couple months I developed a DIY solution to accomplish just that. A solar panel is clamped into a window embrasure with a telescopic rod. The power is carried through the window into my flat with a special flat conductor.

This is a work in progress, so please visit the project documentation at https://hackaday.io/project/192011-window-mount-for-solar-panels if you are interested.

Optimizing Your Solar System Year-Round

As the Earth tilts and turns, the changing seasons can have a profound effect on the performance of solar power systems. From the height of summer to the depths of winter, a solar panel owner’s strategy must adapt to ensure their system is optimized throughout the year. Let's take a closer look into how each season affects solar output and how you can maximize your system's efficiency, regardless of the weather.

Summer: Sun’s Out, Panels Out

Summer often means longer days and more direct sunlight, which is excellent news for solar energy production. In the United States, the average solar panel efficiency can climb during these months due to increased insolation – a term that refers to the amount of solar radiation reaching a given area. The Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA) reports that in peak summer, a well-positioned solar panel system can produce twice as much energy as during winter. However, extreme heat can sometimes decrease panel efficiency, a phenomenon known as temperature coefficient, typically resulting in a performance drop of about 0.5% for every 1°C above 25°C.

Fall: Preparing for the Pivot

As fall approaches, the sun’s angle begins to lower, and days get shorter, which can lead to a decrease in solar production. Despite this, cooler temperatures can enhance panel efficiency, slightly offsetting the loss from reduced daylight. It’s essential to prepare for leaf fall during this season, as debris can obstruct panels and impact performance. A National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) study suggests that a single leaf on a panel can reduce power output by up to 10%.

Winter: Weathering the Cold

Contrary to what many assume, solar panels don't go dormant in winter. They can still produce significant energy, especially in areas with strong winter sunlight. Snow can even act like a mirror, reflecting light and potentially increasing performance on clear days. The key statistic to watch, however, is daylight hours. For instance, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA), regions like the Pacific Northwest see a reduction of about 40% in solar radiation from November through February, affecting potential output.

Spring: A Time for Tune-Ups

Spring is often seen as a time of renewal, and for solar panel systems, it's an ideal period for maintenance to optimize energy capture. As days lengthen, your solar system's production will naturally increase. To fully capitalize on this, ensure your system is free from the winter’s accumulation of dirt and debris. Data from the Department of Energy indicates that a clean solar panel is approximately 21% more efficient than one covered in the season’s grime.

Year-Round Maintenance and Monitoring

Regular maintenance is crucial for keeping your solar power system at peak performance. It’s advisable to check your system's output against benchmarks provided by your installer or local averages. Most modern systems come with apps or monitoring software, enabling you to track energy production in real-time and notice any significant discrepancies that may indicate an issue.

Utilizing Battery Storage

To truly optimize your system year-round, consider integrating battery storage. This allows you to capture excess energy during peak production times and use it when the sun isn’t shining. For example, Tesla’s Powerwall reports that, when used effectively, battery storage can increase the self-consumption of solar power from 30% to upwards of 70%.

Embracing Energy Efficiency

Lastly, optimizing a solar system isn’t just about maximizing production; it’s also about minimizing consumption. Implementing energy efficiency measures within your home can significantly impact how much solar power you need to meet your energy demands. The EPA suggests that for every kilowatt-hour of solar energy used efficiently, a typical system’s return on investment can improve by 5-10%.

By understanding and adapting to the seasonal shifts in solar production, you can ensure your system is not only effective but also contributes to a sustainable future all year round. Whether you’re dealing with the abundance of summer sun or the scarcity of winter light, these strategies will help you stay powered through every season.

Renewable Energy M&A: Japanese utility TEPCO enters UK offshore wind market by acquiring Flotation Energy and its 12 GW pipeline

Tokyo Electric Power Company (TEPCO) is acquiring 100% of Scotland-based Flotation Energy's issued shares through their subsidiary, TEPCO Renewable Power. The deal marks TEPCO's first major venture into offshore wind markets in the UK and overseas. Flotation Energy currently holds a stake in two offshore wind projects in the UK - the 480 MW Morecambe offshore wind farm, awarded as part of the country’s recent Leasing Round 4, as well as the 100 MW White Cross wind test and demonstration project, also awarded by the Crown Estate. The company has a 12 GW pipeline of commercial-scale, fixed-bottom and floating wind projects in the UK, Ireland, Taiwan, Japan and Australia, and plans to expand into many more key markets.

When I’m camping with the vehicle fridge, I take my @gorichsolar Mega 100 Watt Briefcase Portable Solar Charging Kit to keep my refrigerator, vehicle battery and other electronics going over the weekend with zero issues and couldn’t ask for a better panel. If you’re considering a brief case style solar panel, rigid panel for the ground or roof rack, a flexible solar panel to move and secure where you want it or for power stations, they’ve got it. I’m looking to buy one of their power stations and 100-200W rigid panel to mount on my @spidernodrillroofrack roof rack as upgrades to my camping, off-roading and bug out capabilities in addition to power outages from blackouts from summer heat, winds or natural disasters. #gorichsolar #richsolar #solar #solarenergy #solarpower #gogreen #solarpanel #solarpanels #offgrid #offgridliving #selfreliance #briefcasesolarpanel #offgridsolar #offroading #camping #campinglife #4runner #4runnernation #bushcraftandprepping #spidernodrillroofrack https://www.instagram.com/p/Cos5ySvPXH9/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
