The summer heat is especially brutal this year and many homeowners on Cape Cod have had to heavily rely on their cooling systems to stay comfortable. Luckily, solar panels can help offset the cost of using your air conditioner or heat pump with renewable, clean energy!
My Generation Energy specializes in designing high-performance residential and commercial solar energy systems in the area. Solar installation can reduce or even eliminate your electricity bills, which means you can essentially run your AC for free. Here’s everything you need to know.
How to Power Your AC with Solar Energy
Solar panels convert energy from the sun into electricity, which can then be used to power any electrical appliance in your home or business—including your air conditioner or heat pump.
However, in order to run your cooling system completely on solar, you’ll need a high-capacity solar energy system that can meet its demand. At My Generation Energy, we take several factors into consideration when determining how many solar panels you’ll need to power your home, including:
- Your energy consumption
- The efficiency of your solar panels
- How much access you have to direct sunlight
Maximize Your Solar Potential with Battery Storage
Battery storage is a helpful addition to any solar system, allowing you to power your AC and other appliances during periods when your solar panels are inactive or aren’t producing enough power. Solar batteries allow you to store excess electricity your solar panels generate at peak sunlight hours, giving you access to more free, renewable energy whenever you need it.
