    SOLAR ENERGY: GENERAL GUIDELINES Solar energy IS as simple as pointing panels at the sun. However, there are many variables that CAN affect the panel’s performance, and as such there are few hard and fast rules involved. Our panels are rated at maximum output in IDEAL CONDITIONS. Below are a few of the most common variables that affect performance, and some safety tips. Ideal Time of Day As a general rule of thumb, the brighter the sun is shining and the clearer the day, the better solar panels will work.
