Invest in a whole-home surge protector to safeguard your solar system and appliances from voltage spikes caused by solar storms. Create an emergency backup power plan, such as installing a solar battery storage system or keeping a portable generator on hand. Stay informed about space weather forecasts from reliable sources like NOAA’s Space Weather Prediction Center to anticipate potential solar storm impacts. Regularly maintain your solar panels and electrical systems to ensure they are in optimal condition to withstand any solar storm-related stresses.

Keep Birds at Bay: 7 Simple Steps to Bird-Proof Your Solar Panels
Install physical bird deterrents like spikes, netting, or wire coils to create an inhospitable surface that prevents birds from landing or nesting under your solar panels. Utilize ultrasonic devices or visual deterrents such as reflective tape, predator decoys, or holographic strips to scare birds away and discourage them from approaching your solar array. Regularly inspect and maintain your bird-proofing solar panels measures, cleaning away any debris, nesting materials, or droppings to ensure the deterrents remain effective and your panels stay in …
