How can I reduce my summer power bill? Honestly, it's a fair question...
We all love sitting in the air-conditioned comfort of our own home, but the last thing you want to think about in that moment is the power bill.
So, here's some practical steps you can take to reduce your summer power bill:
- Run your major appliances during the day. Dishwasher, laundry, even your pool pump. They can be set to a timer to use electricity when you are capturing the most.
- Add a battery to your existing system. Whilst you capture energy through your panels when the sun is shining, having an ability to store this power will mean you continue to save during the night.
- Lastly, when was the last time you checked your power bill? It's worth considering. In particular, if you have a solar battery, switching to a provider that offers higher feed-in tariffs for any energy that you export.
