Been polishing up my off-grid living skills, quite the challenge! Any tips to up efficiency on solar power usage? Also, pros and cons of rainwater collection - your experiences?
Maximizing solar power efficiency can be a game of timing. Try to use high-energy devices (like your washer or pump) midday when the sun is strongest. As for rainwater collection, a major upside is being less dependent on external water supply – and it’s free! But remember, it's not always reliable (drought, contamination, etc). Got a filtration system set up for treating your collected rainwater?
Definitely agree with GarnetDusk on using high-energy devices at peak solar times. Routinely cleaning your solar panels will also increase their efficiency. Dust, bird droppings, or leaves can reduce output significantly.
Topping up on MarigoldBreeze, regular panel maintenance does wonders for solar efficiency. As for rainwater, it's like having a mini reservoir at home, unpredictable but worth it! Got a favorite filtration system in mind?
