I’m discussing all of your mounting options below. Oh, but … Read more
This is a large solar system and is for people with high energy usage. A 13kW solar system can generate about 20,364 kW of solar power per year on average and will cost you about ~$15k initially. Not to worry, though, as the payoff can be as short as two and a half years. Plus, … Read more
A 9kW solar panel system can generate about 14,180 kW of solar power per year. The installation is likely around ~$10,300 and will take under three years to fully pay off. The positive side is that this investment will save you ~$3,900 per year on energy bills. This, among many other reasons, is why people … Read more
An 8kW solar system has the potential to generate 12,168 kW of solar energy per year. The initial investment is likely around ~$9,100 and will take about 2-3 years to fully pay off; however, it’ll save you ~$3,800 per year on electricity bills. You see the logic? This is why people are going solar. Neat, … Read more
A 7 kW solar system is one of Australia’s most popular system sizes. It can potentially generate 10,663.83 kWh/year of solar power. This saves you about ~$3,400 per year on power bills. Installing solar panels of this size will cost you roughly ~$8,000 and take about 2.5 years to completely pay off. Plus, modern 7kW … Read more
The 6.6 kW solar system is the most common system size in all of Australia. It can potentially generate 9,508.5 kW of solar power per year, saving you about $3,100 annually on electricity bills. Installing solar panels of this size will cost you roughly ~$7,500 and take about two and a half years to pay … Read more
A 5 kW solar system could generate 7,605 kW of solar energy per year, which means that this can save you about ~$2,700 per year on energy bills. Installing solar panels of this size will cost you roughly ~$5,700 and take about three years to fully pay off. Plus, modern 5kW solar systems are so … Read more
A 10 kW solar system will cost roughly $10,000. Costly, yes, but it also saves you about $4700 per month. But given how modern systems last at least 25 years and might only take less than 3 years to pay off, this needs more than just a strong consideration. That being said, I’m covering everything … Read more
When you first think about putting up solar panels, you may get super excited about putting up a ton everywhere. Totally understandable; we all want to reduce electricity bills, right? But have you ever wondered if there are solar system size limits? Yes, yes, there are. They’re typically set to 5 kW per phase, so … Read more
