Commercially prepared suet cakes are safe for year round feeding. If it is hung out in the sun, use a suet with a high melting point or a seed cake available at Wild Birds Unlimited.
Besides the usual woodpeckers, nuthatches and chickadees, during the spring and summer you may even attract orioles, warblers and more with suet.
You can feed suet year round?

The reason I feed suet in the summer is to watch as harried parent birds bring their babies up close and try to convince them to feed themselves.
I’ve never done that. Thank you for your response. I’ve leaned so much :-))
