How To Get the Most Out of a Residential Solar
System

• More and more homeowners are choosing to have
  solar systems installed, and for many, making the
  switch to a clean, renewable power source has
  been a smart choice and a sound investment. And,
  with the introduction of certain smart features,
  the solar market is set to become even more
  popular, heres why
• Home automation and load management
• Enabling homeowners to control their appliances
  and the amount of energy they consume
  electronically home automation means that they
  can also do the same when theyre away from home
  all thats required is an internet connection.

• When it comes to load management, this allows
  utilities to reduce demand for electricity during
  peak usage times, and further reduce costs.
• With nobody currently metering solar energy to
  control how and where its used, gaps in the
  market have appeared for the smart solar market
  to design and make automated breakers that mean
  homeowners can prioritize and control which loads
  get power during an outage. This may involve a
  main load panel retrofit with smart breakers and
  a smart electrical panel lets look at these in
  a little more detail

• Smart electrical panels
• With increased investment in technology for the
  smart solar market, homeowners can now opt for a
  smart electrical panel that will enable them to
  manage their electrical loads using just their
  smartphone, and from wherever they happen to be.
• However, its important to understand that this
  technology is new, and is not widely available
  throughout the country.

• Store energy with a solar battery backup system
• Power outages can still affect a solar panel
  system, but with a battery backup system, you can
  use the stored energy to power your home even
  during an outage. Some battery backup systems
  even help to reduce electricity costs and prevent
  the use of non-environmentally friendly gas or
  diesel generators.
• As technology and time progresses, solar battery
  storage through battery connectivity will become
  increasingly common, and instead of selling
  excess energy back to the grid, the power can be
  stored in the battery for use at night.

• Depending on the critical loads connected to a
  residential battery solution, a battery with a
  storage capacity of around 9.8 kWh will last for
  as long as a couple of days, provided there is
  full sun for recharging. With the installation of
  a smart load panel, you can perform calculated
  load shedding during a power outage, and maximize
  the time the batteries can power your loads for.
• Smart solar systems are a convenient way to
  manage your energy usage within the home, but
  starting off with conventional solar panels is a
  great way to do your bit for the planet while
  keeping your energy bills at a minimum. To
  discuss solar systems in more detail, reach out
