We come back to the source of the solar system: the sun. As the days get shorter and with it, the sunshine weather, one wonders if his solar kit will continue to be able to power our devices. The answer lies some part. part between yes and no.
In fact, it all depends on 3 aspects:
1. The energy appetite of our devices
2. Time and frequency of use
3. The strength of the system
By the strength of the system, we mean the ability of the panels to produce energy and batteries to receive them. Between the two, there is the regulator to help them, on this subject, we invite you to read our articleThe solar kit from A to ZTo learn in a short plus about the different devices that make up a photovoltaic system.
Since the sunshine weather changes throughout the year, one must take into consideration the seasons where one thinks of using one's system. It is according to the worst season of the year that we will establish the strength of a system and its reserve capacities.
4 seasons out of order
It may surprise, but over the 4 seasons, it is not winter that poses the plus of problems, even on the contrary. Yes, the sunshine time can be plus short, on the other hand, most of the panels manage to recover the rays that are reflected by the snow (what is called the Albedo effect). They often manage to kill 2 birds with one stone as they say.
Also, there is the temperature factor. Cold greatly helps the panels to be plus effective.
However, it is necessary to ensure that snow does not accumulate on it. Often, you can avoid it by making sure you have a good angle and sweeping your sign after the snow showers.
In fact, it is especially in spring and fall that the stick hurts, because this is where we report the plus of time of annoyance and rush. It is the use in these 2 periods which therefore risk determining the extent of the strength of a system and its reserve capacities.
From theory to practice:
