I was happy that it rained last night and so it washed my Solar panels which is needed to harvest more energy from the Sun







Yesterday at the dialysis clinic while I was hooked-up, I checked the weather widget by Google and inputted my Barrio's location so I can know if it was "lightly raining" there. it is because in the location of my dialysis clinic it says that it was saying "light rain".
Then after my dialysis treatment was done and got picked-up by my Mother using our Barrio ambulance (our own vehicle is still in maintenance work by my father), I asked Mother if it did at least lightly rained in our home Barrio.
She replied back and told me that it didn't but the ambulance driver said that there were formations of dark clouds but did not rained. However past 10:00 PM last night and most of the early morning past 12:00 midnight it did rained almost heavily in successions.
It gave a smile into my face because my Solar panels on our roof will get washed again. It means that it can harvest a good amount of Solar energy from the Sun at daytime which will give us better use of the power it will give during the day.
My mother is now cooking using electricity because the cooking gas is so expensive right now, so much so that it is just pointless to use cooking gas anymore because the high cost is so ridiculously high. Fortunately we can opt-out from using LPG now because of our Solar power system for the house.
It was cloudy today but regardless the Solar panels are efficient enough to power both the 2.5 and 2 HP A/C in the rooms and our other electrical appliances like an electric fan turned on.
But there is no sunlight at night so we do not use the A/C because we will be getting power from the grid if the solar panels will or cannot provide power needed in the house like maybe even during the day of the sky has dark clouds. But even if is cloudy but it is hot, the solar panels, like I mentioned already, can still provide an ample power to run heavy loads like a couple of A/Cs turned on. But from time to time the Inverter system pulls power from the grid if the power produced from the Solar panels is not enough for the current load.
Well, until now our bi-directional power meter for our net metering is still not installed which is why I am missing-out about the supposed "credits" we could have gotten form the power produced and supposedly sold to the grid particularly from the current and past months where the Sun is brightly shining.
Also, we are still paying the electric company for the electricity we use during the night although our quality of life is much better now because during the day we can use A/C in our rooms without worrying much about paying so much thanks to the many solar panels placed in our roof which is rated to produce approximately 10.53 KWp or maybe less than that because of some factors like when it is cloudy or it rains or there is so much dark clouds.
But I am sure that we can achieve the "Zero-bill" target that I wanted to happen so that we can save money which can be used elsewhere like food or medicines for my parents. At that point my Mother will be very happy for me because it will be the first time that we will not pay electricity anymore. I will still save in for my electric consumption because of course it is not good to waste electricity credits which can extend our use on the days that the Sun is hiding among the dark clouds at some pint in time.
Upvoted! Thank you for supporting witness @jswit.
Hello friend, I'm glad the rain brought you blessings and happiness 😊. I thank God that you benefited from the rain, electricity bills can be very demanding but I'm glad the solar panels are there to help you and your family out. How is your health friend?
