estimated monthly average output of 10kW solar system

How much power do solar panels produce in Northern Rivers?

Solar panels in Northern Rivers generate more power in the summer than in the winter. For instance, a 5 kW solar system in the Northern Rivers facing north with no shading will produce an average of 19 kWh per day throughout the year, or roughly 8,300 kWh over 12 months. Similarly, a 10 kW solar system in Northern Rivers will provide an average of 38 kWh of power per day, or around 16,600 kWh over 12 months.

How much do solar systems cost in Northern Rivers?

There's no one-size-fits-all answer for solar panel costs in Northern Rivers. The ideal system size depends on your unique energy consumption, roof space, and budget. To give you an example, we estimated the potential cost of two different system sizes.

A 5kW system, typically suitable for homes with moderate energy consumption, can range from $5,000 to $8,000 installed in Northern Rivers. This system can potentially save you around $1,800 per year on electricity bills.

For larger homes or those with high energy use, a 10kW system might be ideal. Expect a cost range of $7,000 to $13,000 with potential annual savings of $3,000.

What direction should my solar panels face in Northern Rivers?

For the best solar power output in Northern Rivers, position your panels north whenever possible, especially for winter. Flat roofs may need a slight tilt for drainage, while pitched roofs can follow their angle.

East or west-facing panels can work on north-south rooflines, with the west ideal for high afternoon energy use. Splitting panels with Enphase microinverters can smooth power output and avoid midday peaks. Careful panel placement and considering time-of-use electricity rates can significantly improve your system's efficiency and match your energy needs.

How many solar panels do I need in Northern Rivers?

To get started with solar, you need to size up the right system for your home. Don't worry, our experts can help you size the perfect system for your goals. Whether you want to pay off your system quickly, slash your electricity bill, or go green, the right size makes all the difference. For the fastest payback, aim for a system matching your daytime usage and, ideally, positioned north or northwest to increase savings during peak energy use times.
