    I don’t understand what you mean by this. The time people want to minimize their grid usage is during the hours of 16-19 which is peak usage and when electricity is most expensive. These panels will still provide a decent supplement in that time during the summer half of the year.

    the suns only up during that time period over the summer. during other parts of the year, it’s only partially up. If you have to go for a specific time of the year in order to fix a problem, then it hasn’t fixed much of the problem if it only addresses 1/4 seasons. solar is often not that strong during peak usage. It’s basically effective if you have a lot of appliances at home that are timed specifically to run when most people are away, which is the part that you have to train an audience to do.
