Sydney gets a sufficient amount of sunlight and people are taking advantage of solar PV systems. Many homes and businesses in Sydney, Australia have solar power systems installed on their roofs, all thanks to government rebate and decreasing solar costs.
Choosing the right solar PV system is of utmost importance as investing in the solar system is a big decision.
With a decrease in the prices of solar power systems in the last few years, the standard-sized solar system for Australian homes in Sydney is 6.6kW. It is ideal for medium to large families.
We know the first thing that strikes when people think of getting a solar PV system on the roof of their houses is –
The cost of solar panels has been decreasing due to increasing competition and rapid development. Solar panels only makeup a partial amount of the total cost of your solar PV system as the solar system comprises mounting components, wires, cables, isolators, breakers, switches, inverter and installation cost.
Here, we give you an idea of the solar power system price as a whole according to size. But you should know prices may vary depending upon your requirements, location or roof elevation.
The prices below include the STC incentive from the government.
If you compare the quotes of reputed solar installers, there would not be much difference in prices. The quality components and installation is what matters. So, always get your installation done by a local company that has been in business for at least 10 years.
For a 6.6 kW solar power system, if the panel wattage is 330W then there would be 20 panels. Similarly, if the wattage is more then less number of panels would be used. High wattage panels are ideal for houses with limited roof space.
Roughly, 35-40 m2 of roof area is required to install a system of this size. For an exact measurement, book in-house assessment or call us on 1300 980 640.
The amount of sunlight falling on panels determines the power output. Roughly, 6.6 kW system produces 25 kWh per day but it varies depending upon the following factors –
The payback period is the number of years in which the initial cost of the system gets recovered. A 6.6kW system roughly pays back in 3-4 years, if self-consumption is about 40%. The solar system helps you to save on your power bills and hence it pays for itself in few years by saving you money on your power bills and through feed-in tariff you get by selling the extra energy produced to the power retailer.
A 5kw inverter is suitable to put on a system having 6.6kW worth of panels.
