How will the weather affect the solar energy system?
Solar energy systems are very robust and designed to withstand extreme weather conditions. Lightning, wind up to 80 miles per hour, and extreme temperatures are all things your solar system is designed to handle. However, weather conditions can reduce energy production because of reduced insolation. In fog, marine layer, or June gloom the system will still produce 25% to 30% of normal production. Similarly, a rain storm cuts production but is great for cleaning your panels. If for any reason your system were to go off line due to weather we will know about it immediately (via the monitoring system) and will work to get the system up and running ASAP. After all, you only pay JFSI for power you get from the system. If the system isn’t producing energy, your buying energy from the utility and not paying JFSI, so its in our interest to keep the system running.
