Did you know cooler temperatures are actually better for solar efficiency!?
BUT…
If you live in Cape Town, you are likely to use tumble dryers more because of high winter rainfall, and regardless of location our geysers work harder to maintain their heat because the ambient temperature is much lower.

How can we optimise our winter solar efficiency and mitigate the impact of season changes on our systems?
- Shifting your loads to sunlight hours if you have solar
- Installing timers on your geysers, so they work during the day when the ambient temperature is higher
- Use Versofy’s HOME app – a great tool as it takes weather conditions and historical usage into account. For example, it knows that if it is going to be a sunny day tomorrow, you can drain the battery more today (and use less from Eskom). The app applies technology that takes the myriad of variables into account, so that you don’t need to.
