There could be some inconvenient chemistry involved with only letting the rain wash your panels. 💨🧪🧽 Find out if you should be giving your panels an extra wash every once in a while.

Rain water isn't always enough to keep panels clean. Pollen, dust, and that same rain water could be making a film that hinders production.

Continuing in our summer series, learn about the best practices that keep your home batteries cool, efficient, long-lived, and safe! 🔋🔋🔋🪫

Your batteries give you peace of mind knowing you have spare energy you can use for later, but the summer heat can diminish their performance and lifespan.

Plants are magnitudes less efficient at converting sunlight into energy, but that doesn’t make solar panels superior. 🌱⚖️💡 Learn why “efficiency” is often a moot metric in the world of solar generation.

The efficiency of your solar panels is important, but that's just a metric for the sunlight they catch, not what they can do after they catch it.

Don’t wash your panels directly with the hose!!! 😱🛑‼️ From thermal shock to water scaling, there’s a lot to keep in mind before you try to wash your solar array yourself.

FacebookTweet When it comes to engineering outdoor utility equipment, durability and self-sufficiency are paramount. In the high deserts of Northern New Mexico we have a different set of considerations to keep in mind when it comes to maintaining our solar arrays for the longest life and return on o...

It’s not wasted space - that gap under your solar panels has an important job it’s designed to do! 🌬️❄️🌡️

You may have noticed that solar panels don't lay flush when mounted against a roof. This is because that gap has an important job.

Solar panels get all the attention, but it’s the inverter that makes that power usable, and it feels the heat worse than your panels do. 🔥🌡️🔥

The inverter is the device that makes solar panel energy useable, but that power house has to stay cool to stay productive.

Dual-use Solar: where green energy meets green thumbs. 🌱 Learn about the evolving symbiotic relationship between solar energy and farming.

FacebookTweet At ECC Solar, we believe energy production shouldn’t just occupy the land—it should enrich it. While solar energy has long been the gold standard for energy independence, a new frontier is emerging: Agrivoltaics. Also known as “dual-use” solar, agrivoltaics is the strategic co-...
