Here's all the important information you need to know about solar power in Ballarat:
How much power does solar produce in Ballarat?
Summer in Ballarat has more sunlight hours. Consequently, your solar panels will generate more energy to power your home. Winter brings less sunshine and lower output. A well-positioned, north-facing 5kW system with no shade could generate around 13kWh daily, totalling roughly 7,335kWh yearly.
A larger system like 10kW under the same condition can produce up to 27kWh daily or about 14,670kWh annually (assuming no shade). These are just estimates. The electricity your system produces will depend on the weather, how your panels are angled, and which direction they face.
How much do solar systems cost in Ballarat?
In Ballarat, a 5kW solar panel system typically ranges from $5,000 to $8,000 and can save homeowners about $1,800 annually. The right size for your solar panel system depends on your energy usage, budget, and available roof space. On the other hand, installing a 10kW system in Ballarat costs between $7,000 and $13,000. With this larger system, you can save around $3,000 annually on electricity. However, these are just estimates. Contact our solar experts for a free quote for personalised pricing.
What direction should my solar panels face in Ballarat?
Where you place your solar panels matters as it will affect the overall output of your solar system. North-facing panels capture more sunlight the most sunlight year-round. It is useful in winter when you need extra power. Flat roofs require a slight tilt to prevent water pooling, but angled roofs are usually good to go as-is.
However, homes have different roof orientations. If yours faces north to south, you have alternatives. East-facing panels catch sunlight early in the day which is great if you use loads of power in the morning. West-facing panels, on the other hand, shine brighter in the afternoon, ideal for high evening energy use.
Enphase microinverters can split your panel arrays into sections, smoothing out power output and avoiding overwhelming surges around midday. Match your panel placement based on your energy usage patterns and consider factors like time-of-day pricing from your power provider. You can boost the benefit from solar power, especially during those peak cost periods
How many solar panels do I need in Ballarat?
It's important to understand what you want to achieve with solar. From this, we can design a suitable solar system for your home. Do you dream of a quick return on investment by covering your daytime energy needs? Perhaps a significant slash in your overall electricity bill is the ultimate goal? Maybe going green and lessening your environmental footprint is your top priority. No matter your motivation, we'll guide you through this process to find the perfect system size.
A system sized to handle your daytime energy use is the most cost-effective option, getting you that payback faster. Plus, strategically placing panels facing north can sometimes give you extra savings during peak electricity times. So, tell us – what's your solar dream?
