Here's all the information you need to know before investing in solar panels in Bendigo:

estimated average daily energy output by month of a 10kW solar system

How much power does solar panels generate in Bendigo?

The amount of sunlight in Bendigo can directly affect the output of your solar panel. The summer season has longer daylight hours, resulting in more energy generation. In contrast, winter has shorter days, which means lower output. A 5kW solar system facing north and receiving full sun can generate an average of 13kW daily. This estimate roughly sums up to 7,335kWh a year.

If you opt for a larger system, a 10kW solar system under the same condition could produce around 27kWh daily, or approximately 14,670kWh annually. These figures are just estimates. System output could vary depending on location, system size, and weather conditions.

How much should I expect to pay for solar panels in Bendigo?

The cost of a solar panel system depends on several factors, making a one-size-fits-all price tag difficult. The main factor influencing the price is the system size which directly tied to your average energy consumption, budget, and roof space. For example, a 5kW system in Bendigo can cost anywhere from $5,000 to $8,000 and could potentially save you around $1,800 on your electricity bills each year. On the other hand, a 10kW system in Melbourne could range from $7,000 to $13,000 and might save you closer to $3,000 annually.

What direction should my solar panels face in Bendigo?

The placement of your solar panels greatly impacts the amount of energy your system produces. Ideally, panels should face directly north to capture the most sunlight year-round, which is especially useful in winter when energy needs are higher. While flat roofs might need a slight tilt to prevent water pooling, angled roofs are usually good to go as they are.

However, not all roofs face north. If your roof runs north to south, you have some options. East-facing panels generate power earlier in the day, which is great if you use a lot of electricity in the morning. On the other hand, west-facing panels produce more power in the afternoon, ideal for heavy evening electricity use. To get the best results, consider when you use the most power and place your panels accordingly.

Enphase microinverters can further improve your system by splitting your arrays into sections, ensuring a steady power output and avoiding midday surges. By strategically placing panels based on your electricity usage patterns (e.g., east for morning use), you can make the most of solar power during peak hours, especially if your electricity provider charges more during those times.

How many solar panels do I need in Bendigo?

The journey to solar power starts with understanding your goals to determine the perfect size of solar system your home needs. Are you aiming for a quick return on investment by offsetting your daytime electricity use? Maybe significantly reducing your overall electricity bill is the priority. Perhaps minimising your environmental impact is the driving force. Don't worry about navigating these options alone - you'll receive guidance from our solar experts throughout the process.

In most cases, a system sized to meet your daytime energy needs is the most cost-effective option, resulting in a faster payback period. Additionally, strategically placing panels facing north can sometimes provide additional savings during peak electricity usage times.
