Save money with solar energy: Smart solutions for your home and beyond
Find out how to save money on heating your pool, charging electric cars and more with Ecocorp Solar
Home energy savings from Ecocorp Solar SL
- Optimise energy usage: Use energy-efficient appliances and LED lighting to reduce your overall electricity consumption. This will allow you to rely more on solar power and less on the grid.
- Time your usage: If you have a time-of-use electricity plan, try to run high-energy appliances like dishwashers and washing machines during peak sunlight hours. This maximises the use of solar energy and reduces dependency on grid electricity.
- Monitor your system: Regularly check your solar energy system to ensure it’s functioning efficiently. Most systems come with monitoring apps that help you track your energy production and consumption in real-time.
Electric car charging
- Smart charging: Set your smart charger to power up your EV during peak sunlight hours or at night when electricity rates are lower. Some suppliers offer special rates between midnight and 7am.
- Grants and incentives: Take advantage of available grants and incentives for installing solar-powered car chargers. These can significantly reduce the upfront cost and accelerate your return on investment. Currently there are 70% grants available and Ecocorp submit the application and do all the paperwork on your behalf.
Heating your swimming pool
- Solar pool heaters: Install a solar pool heater to utilise the sun’s energy for maintaining a comfortable pool temperature year-round. This reduces the need for conventional heating methods that consume a lot of electricity or gas.
- Efficient pump usage: Combine your solar pool heater with an energy-efficient pool pump. Set the pump to run during daylight hours when solar energy is abundant, ensuring your pool stays warm without adding to your electricity bill.
Additional energy-saving tips
- Insulation: Properly insulate your home to retain heat in the winter and keep it cool in the summer. This reduces the workload on your heating and cooling systems, saving energy and money.
- Programmable thermostats: Use programmable thermostats to control your home’s temperature efficiently. Set them to lower heating or cooling when you’re not at home, further reducing energy consumption.
