A common misconception/myth about solar generators and solar power is that their usefulness declines during the winter months. This is understandable. We all equate warm sunshiny days with green energy, especially when it comes to power provided by the sun.
However, it’s useful to recognize the fact that solar panels have become quite sophisticated. If there is light outside at all, even through overcast conditions, rain, clouds, and snowy days, your solar generator can and will collect power.
Harnessing Solar Power During the Winter
The winter months bring a perfect opportunity to provide you and your household with decentralized, supplemental power that will help support your normal power supply.
Using your Geneverse can help you lower that monthly power bill, which tends to increase during the winter as we keep our homes warm and inviting.
Solar Panels Work Year Round
Your Geneverse solar panels are not limited to summer/spring use. You can theoretically use your solar generator 365 days a year if you wish.
No matter how severe the weather gets during the winter, the visible light necessary to charge your battery will be available.
Caring for Your Geneverse During the Winter
During the winter, make sure to be mindful of your battery. You do not want to store it for long periods in cold temperatures. Instead, keep your battery indoors at an appropriate temperature.
If you do keep your batteries in an outdoor or non-insulated area, always monitor the temperature to ensure it’s in the ideal range. Avoid using or storing Geneverse products in areas with markedly high or low temperatures.
As far as your solar panels go, you can charge during the day as you would normally. When you’ve finished charging your battery, clear solar panels of any ice or snow, if applicable. When clearing snow from your solar panels, soft snow brushes will help you clean off the snow while avoiding creating any surface scratches. Using a rougher brush or even a rake can cause damage to your panels.
Of course, if you have questions about taking care of your Geneverse, we are always here to help. You can always contact us for best practices and information.
