In the Central Coast's summers, your solar panels will generate more power. During winter, on the other hand, your solar panels will generate less than in summer time.
Here is an example to give you an idea of your system's potential output: A north-facing, 5kW system, free from shade, can produce an estimated daily average of 14kWh. This daily average translates to roughly 7,480kWh of clean energy over a year.
In comparison, a 10kW solar system in the Central Coast generates around 29kWh per day or about 14,960kWh annually.
The cost of solar panels in the Central Coast varies based on the size of your system, which depends on factors like your current energy bill, usage, roof size, and budget.
For your reference, a 5kW solar panel installation in the Central Coast ranges from $5,000 to $8,000 and can save homeowners around $1,800 annually. A 10kW solar system in the Central Coast costs between $7,000 and $13,000, with estimated annual savings of approximately $3,000.
Your solar panel's direction can directly impact its energy output. Solar panels facing north capture the most sunlight year-round, especially in winter when you need it most. Flat roofs might need a slight tilt for drainage, but pitched roofs can follow their existing angle.
Moreover, north-south rooflines offer some flexibility. East-facing panels generate power earlier while west-facing ones provide more afternoon energy. The trick is to choose the side that aligns best with your peak electricity usage.
Lastly, Enphase microinverters can improve power output, and strategically placed panels to match peak usage times can enhance your system's efficiency significantly.
Before installing solar panels on your roof, we evaluate the right system size for your solar system based on your energy goals. Don't worry too much about this step. Our solar experts will walk you through the whole process.
Everyone has different goals for solar. Some prioritise a quick return on investment, others aim to minimise their electricity bill, and some want to make a positive environmental impact.
For those who want to achieve fast payback, go for a system that is sized to match your daytime energy use. In some cases, north or northwest-facing panels can further boost savings during peak usage times. To achieve this, contact our team to help you design the solar solution that perfectly fits your goals.
There is a wider range of top-tier solar panels that are now available in the market. Here are the top solar panels from best value brands to premium.
1KOMMA5° Full-Black Solar Modules if you prioritise both performance and aesthetics. These eco-friendly panels have an impressive 420W output and a sleek all-black design that complements any home. Made with German-made polysilicon for superior quality, they're backed by extended warranties (25 years product, 30 years performance) for long-lasting value.
Are you looking for a budget-friendly option that prioritises quality and performance? Look no further than the Trina solar panel. Recognised as the best value on the market, Trina panels excel in both real-world use and independent testing. Its innovative design ensures high output even in low-light conditions, making it a reliable choice for consistent power generation.
Small-scale Technology Certificates (STCs) are a federal government incentive that rewards homeowners with certificates for the solar energy their system will produce over a designated period. These certificates can be sold to reduce the upfront cost of installing solar panels. To check your eligibility for this incentive, please contact our team.
We can get your new solar system with battery storage and/or EV charger up and running in just 2-4 weeks from the time you confirm your order. Our dedicated solar installation coordinator will contact you promptly to schedule a convenient installation time.
The amount of solar you’re able to install is dependent on both location factors such as available space, whether your home has single or three phase power and the export or inverter limits put in place by your energy retailer. Households with three phase power are able to install up to 30kW of solar on their roof.
Have an accredited solar installer perform regular servicing on your solar system, including cleaning the solar panels, clearing any obstructions from around the array, checking electrical components and performing any necessary maintenance. It is recommended that this be carried out around every 2 years to ensure continued performance.
Solar power systems convert sunlight into electricity for your home. The solar panels convert the sun’s energy into DC electricity, this is then transformed into AC power by your solar inverter, ready for household use. Solar batteries allow excess solar energy to be stored for times of low generation, meaning you can live off solar for longer.
Although solar PV modules do still produce power on cloudy or low-light days, their performance can be reduced. To avoid issues of partial shading and to maximise output in any conditions you may want to install a smart solar system. Adding a solar battery will also allow you to use solar electricity regardless of the conditions.
By installing a solar system with a large enough capacity you can provide power to your entire home, a reputable solar retailer will help you determine your energy needs and design a panel array suited to you. If you're looking to power your home with solar even during times of limited production installing a solar battery can help.
Installing a solar system in your home is a great way to increase your property value, homes with solar installed can see an increase in property value of up to 4%, additionally solar homes tend to sell up to 20% faster than those without solar power.
