Summer is finally here, and the holidays are just around the corner! You’ve packed your bags, programmed the garden watering system… but what about your solar panels?
To leave with peace of mind, make sure your photovoltaic system is in good working order so that everything runs smoothly while you're away.
Here are our CHECKLIST with TOP 7 TIPS to help you prepare before you leave, monitor during your trip, and check up after you return:
Before you leave:
1-Check the monitoring system
Make sure your online monitoring system is working properly. This will allow you to monitor your energy production remotely. That way, even on the other side of the world, you can regularly check your performance data.
2-Reduce standby consumption
Unplug or switch off unnecessary devices that you won't be using while you're away to avoid passive energy loss. For example, unplug your television, printer, or coffee machine.
3-Check your batteries (if you have any)
Ensure that your battery is properly configured to store solar energy efficiently.
While you’re away:
4-Keep an eye from afar
Use your monitoring app to quickly spot any anomalies. For instance, a significant drop in production could signal a connection issue or an obstruction affecting the panels.
5-Have emergency contacts ready
Keep our contact details handy in case of any issues.
When you return:
6-Inspect your panels
Do a quick visual inspection to ensure they are clean and undamaged. Check that there are no obstructions blocking them.
7-Review system performance
Look over your production data from the time you were away to detect any irregularities.
Key takeaway:
By keeping an eye on these points before, during, and after your holiday, you’ll be able to head off worry-free and ensure your system keeps running in top condition.
Now all that’s left to do is to close your suitcase and enjoy your vacation with a peace of mind.
