With the storms ongoing, you might be thinking “will the rain affect my solar system?”

This is a popular misconception. Your solar panels will still continue to produce electricity even in the most freezing weather. In fact, the cooler the temperature, the better for your solar panels compared to warm and scorching heat during the summer. Yes, your solar panels perform at their maximum at lower temperatures with bright sun.

The simple explanation for this is because solar panels create electricity from the sun’s light and not heat. Although solar and heat seem to be a likely pair, heat in fact can reduce the electricity production of solar panels because they increase the electron’s energy levels thus the high energy transfers into heat instead of electricity and interferes with electricity production causing what you call a “heat loss”.

What matters is on the inside

Even exposed to the same amount of sunlight, too much heat on the solar panels will cause drops in the energy produced. External temperatures do not affect the sunlight gathered by the solar panels but it does impact how energy is produced inside the cells. Colder temperature promotes better energy production that can par with the lesser daylight hours in winter solstice. Rest assured that you should not be afraid and anxious of the cold winds, instead, they will benefit you by blowing away the heat and ensure a higher efficiency and better performance of your solar system.

We can never tell when a power interruption will occur. And when it does, no one can tell when power will be restored.  Most of our clients are looking for bill reduction as their main purpose of installing solar, but we also have clients who want the energy security that solar can provide – even when the power is out.

Solar and batteries

Incorporating batteries in a solar setup is one of our solar solutions, especially for clients who seek energy backup during power outage. When is this solution ideal? When you live in a power-starved area, or a place with constant power outages and brownouts. With an OFF-GRID SOLAR SYSTEM or a HYBRID SOLAR SYSTEM, the excess energy from the solar panels can be stored in the batteries, and then this stored power can be used for night time consumption. Batteries do not only provide energy when the power is out but it can also be a buffer whenever the weather is cloudy, or during times when there is not enough solar energy to supply your loads.

SMILE Lithium Battery

The Alpha SMILE battery can store enormous amount of energy enough to run an air conditioning unit on a normal day and definitely more than enough to supply power on your home during a power outage. What’s good is that they even last for at least ten years compared to an approximate 2-year life of a lead acid battery. Not to mention that this battery beast is being powered by the sun.

This battery is a European design award winner and works like a grid tie system, except that it’s hybrid and can detect excess power and divert it to charge the batteries before selling the surplus power to the grid. It can also detect if the house is starting to use grid power and discharge the battery to keep the grid consumption to zero until the battery runs out and gets recharged by solar the next day.

Not that cheap!

Lithium battery design systems are not cheap as Grid Tie systems, as they can cost about 40% or more compared to the typical grid tie system. But with its 10-year warranty and energy security it can provide more benefits to clients who are serious in preparing for calamities, and more value for those who suffer from power outages regularly. As they say, there is a price for peace of mind.

The year 2020 surprised us from all angles, especially with the COVID-19 pandemic, natural disasters, and economic downturn that have struck every nation all over the world. With all parts of the globe facing a dark and uncertain future, where do climate change and renewable energy stand in our current predicament?

Climate change adaptation

Humans have long adapted to its environment throughout the history to survive. Ivatan people from Batanes have built their homes using thick limestone and cogon grass to protect themselves from strong typhoons and harsh environmental conditions. In climate talks, adaptation is taking the correct action to prevent and lower the risks caused by climate change. It involves planning and taking the opportunity to develop practices and ignite a response.

Adaptation covers a wide range of contingency measures such as home and building innovations to cater to renewable energy and green living. Designing infrastructures to be solar ready can be considered as adapting into the yearly increase of energy costs and an effort to reduce your carbon footprint. Government and communities building flood defenses and providing solutions for prolonged El Niño are some of the ways on how countries have adapted to the effects of climate change.

Climate change mitigation

Though widely associated with adaptation, mitigation is more about dealing the source of the problem. Mitigation involves human intervention to reduce carbon footprint or using new technology to reduce greenhouse gasses. The use of renewable energy such as solar, instead of fossil fuels, developing electric vehicles, and planting trees to help in carbon dioxide absorption in the atmosphere help address the root of the problem. Promoting sustainable energy and technology can assist in slowing down the effects of climate change.

Decarbonization

Reducing carbon emissions brought by energy production and consumption and replacing it with renewable energy sources such as solar and wind can help reduce the demand for fossil fuels and open more opportunities for a cleaner switch in lifestyle and consumer goods. Decarbonization’s main goal is to create carbon dioxide free economy and neutralize its levels in the atmosphere.

Heading to the future

Climate change may not be not anyone’s top priority right now but the effects of climate change continue to affect us in every way possible. The global pandemic might have slowed down some efforts due to the global economy shutdown and restrictions by different cities and provinces but there are other opportunities and technologies available to raise awareness and knowledge about climate change. The pandemic has just proven that what we need are smarter solutions and collaborative efforts, and that we need to act with more urgency to combat this global crisis.
