How to Improve Solar Panel Efficiency in Urban Pakistani Homes

Solar energy is all about efficiency, and it’s something that many people know and understand. The entire selling point of solar energy is the fact that you can count on it to be efficient and deliver on your energy requirements at any given times. Which helps explain why solar energy has gotten so popular in Pakistan as of late, and why it continues to grow without any slowdown in sight. Pakistan, for better or worse, also has a penchant for flirting with inexpensive products at the cost of quality and efficiency, which can bring down the utility of the solar energy solution as a whole.

Which brings us to the solution of improving solar panel efficiency in urban Pakistani homes. You see, urban homes in Pakistan are quite energy-intensive, and their needs and requirements can shift wildly, fluctuating from low usage and low requirements to high usage and high consumption in a matter of days. Which brings us to this topic, and which is why we’ll take a closer look at how to improve solar panel efficiency in urban Pakistani homes, and how to do it even on highly efficient solar energy solutions like those from RS Energy.

Improving solar panel efficiency

Improving solar panel efficiency is imperative for consumers, especially in the urban settings, since energy demand can wildly fluctuate, and can alternate between high and low. Which is why, allowing your panels to always operate on their maximum setting can make for some pretty impressive energy returns. And with the newfound preference of battery storage, consumers can now store extra energy generated by the system for later usage, allowing consumers to reap even more benefits from their solar energy system than otherwise possible.

So, how can consumers actually do it? Is it even possible to improve and increase the efficiency of a solar panel, especially for usage in an urban household? Well, let’s take a look at some of the solutions that can be used to improve solar panel efficiency.

i. High efficiency panels

The first way to improve solar panel efficiency is the most obvious way; using high-efficiency solar panels. Because while there are other ways of increasing solar panel efficiency, it is usually better to have panels that come from the factory with an increased efficiency number. This way, consumers won’t have to grapple with the additional equipment or methods required to increase the efficiency of the solar panels. And the market is full of high-efficiency solar panels; it’s just that they cost more, and if you are willing to spend a little extra, solar panel performance will always be at its peak.

ii. Optimal installation angle

When it comes to solar panels, installation is absolutely critical. And within the process of installation, the angle, including orientation and tilt, can make or break the efficiency and generation potential of the solar energy system. The angle and orientation need to be in tune with the sunlight; especially the peak hours, because that is when the solution performs at its most efficient level. Any miss on this time period due to installation angle (orientation and tilt) issues will only lead to further problems, such as when temperatures drop during winters, as well as when access to sunlight is significantly shortened.

iii. Shading

Shading is another issue that can really bring down the efficiency level of an entire system, and the issue is usually something as trivial and inconsequential as a tree branch, or something as problematic and permanent as another house, a skyscraper or a tall building. Shading essentially means the casting of a shadow on the solar panels due to a structure in the vicinity, which obviously robs sunlight. Ensuring that there is no potential for shading is basic in ensuring efficiency.

iv. Proper cooling/ventilation

Solar panels work best with optimal ventilation and cooling. Therefore, having a proper ventilation system will also help considerably with solar panel performance and efficiency.
