Buy Solar Panels From The Best Solar Installers in Sydney

The cost of solar system in Sydney depends on your system size, which will be determined by different factors such as your current energy bill and usage, as well as your roof size and budget. Good quality solar panels are now very much affordable, and it is possible to get a return on your money in 3-5 years.

Here's what determines the price of your solar system:

Solar Panels: High-quality solar panels last longer, provide more output, and are more reliable, though they are more expensive. We recommend reliable brands like 1KOMMA5° and Trina Solar. Avoid cheap Chinese panels due to their reduced quality and reliability.

Inverters: Inverters convert DC power from the panels to AC power for your home. Reliable brands like Enphase, Sungrow, and SolarEdge are recommended. High-quality inverters can last 15 years or longer, while cheaper ones may fail in a few years, leading to costly replacements.

Monitoring: Advanced monitoring options are available for detailed power usage and generation tracking.

As a guide, a fully installed 5kW solar system in Sydney costs from $5,000 to $8,000 and can save homeowners $1,800 a year. Meanwhile, a 10kW solar system in Sydney costs from $7,000 to $13,000 with annual savings estimated at $3,000.

Additional costs may be charged if you require installing split arrays, meter board work or high roof access.

If you're just starting your solar journey, the first thing you need is to size up the right system for your needs and our team of experts can help you with this.

The right-sized solar system depends on what you want your system to do. For many people, it is about making sure the solar system pays for itself in as little time as possible. For others, it is to reduce their power bill by the greatest amount or to reduce their carbon footprint and do their bit for the environment.

Paying back your investment as quickly as possible requires sizing up a system to match your daytime energy usage. In a perfect situation, you would use all of the solar power that it generates and have the solar panels facing north or northwest to maximise your savings during the peak time of use billing period.

Many Australian households with solar installed are struggling to find aftermarket support after their original installer has gone bust. Since 2011 more than 750 solar installers have stopped trading, rendering their warranties useless. Look for a solar panel performance warranty of 25 years and a product warranty of 10-12 years and only purchase from a reputable installer. 

Solar panels is an investment in your home, going for cheaper options may cause you significant issues in the long run and ultimately limit the financial benefits of installing solar power. With cheap solar systems you’ll often find the output isn’t what you were expecting or that components begin to break just as your system reaches its payback period. Installing cheap panels can leave you unable to make a warranty claim in the event of something going wrong due to liquidated or offshore manufacturers. More and more Australian solar systems are experiencing hotspots and browning significantly reducing their performance, not to mention the potential fire risk of cheap solar components.
