Maximizing Your Solar Investment

Tips for Homeowners.

As a proud owner of a solar energy system, you’ve already made a significant step towards sustainability and reducing your carbon footprint. But did you know that there are even more ways you can optimize your energy usage and save money on your power bills?

Monitor and Optimize Energy Usage
After installing solar panels, tracking your energy usage is crucial. Utilize smart meters or solar monitoring apps to keep an eye on production and consumption. By identifying high-energy activities, you can adjust your habits to maximize savings. For example, running appliances during peak sunlight hours can allow you to use more of the power generated by your solar system.

Check your Energy Bill
When you receive your energy bill, it includes various components that can affect both how much you owe and how much benefit you’re deriving from your solar installation. Check if your electricity rate is low and your compensation rate high. Investigate as well if the energy supplier has extra services or programs like virtual batteries or loyalty programs which can be beneficial too.

Keep up with your Maintenance
Maintenance helps ensure your solar panels operate at peak efficiency. Clean the panels to remove dirt and debris, and check for any shading factors that may reduce performance. Additionally, consider scheduling annual professional inspections to catch potential issues early on.

Incentives and Rebates
Take advantage of state and local incentives designed to promote solar energy use. The state allows you to deduct a significant percentage of your solar installation costs from your income taxes (IRPF*). Additionally, many town halls offer rebates that further reduce costs, for example on the IBI. Research available incentives in your area to ensure you’re maximizing your savings.
