Here's everything you need to know before buying solar panels in Geelong:

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

How much power does solar panels produce in Geelong?

The output of solar power in Geelong can vary depending on the weather, roof orientation, angle, and shading conditions. Solar panels generate more energy during the summer and less in winter. To give you a general idea of how much power your system can generate, we calculated the outputs of varying system sizes.

A 5kW system facing north with no shade could produce around 11kWh daily, summing up to 6,811kWh in a year. Double the system size to 10kW under the same conditions, and you could potentially generate 22kWh daily or about 13,621kWh annually.

How much do solar panels cost in Geelong?

Finding the right system size is key in determining the cost of solar systems. The perfect fit for your home depends on your typical energy use, budget, and available roof space. Here are estimates on the saving potential and cost of solar panel systems in Geelong:

A 5kW system typically costs between $5,000 and $8,000 and could help you reduce your electricity bills by around $1,800 annually. A 10kW system can cost between $7,000 and $13,000. You could see annual savings of around $3,000.

What direction should my solar panels face in Geelong?

The placement of solar panels significantly affects the energy output of your system. North-facing panels typically receive the most sunlight throughout the year, which is particularly beneficial in the winter when you need more power. While flat roofs require a slight tilt to prevent water pooling, slanted roofs are generally suitable as they are.

However, not all roofs face north. If your roof is oriented north to south, you have different options. East-facing panels provide power earlier in the day, making them ideal if your electricity usage is higher in the morning. On the contrary, west-facing panels generate more power in the afternoon, which is advantageous if you consume more electricity in the evening. Assess your energy usage patterns to determine the optimal orientation for your panels.

Using Enphase microinverters allows you to divide your arrays into sections, ensuring a more consistent power output and reducing significant midday surges. Consider your electricity usage patterns and panel placement. If your power company has higher rates during peak hours, strategically positioning your panels (such as east-facing for morning use) can help you boost solar power when it’s most cost-effective.

How many solar panels do I need in Geelong?

Understanding what you want to achieve with solar power is key to finding the perfect system size. Are you looking for a quick financial win by covering your daytime energy use and lowering your bills? Maybe slashing your overall electricity costs is your dream? Or perhaps going green and reducing your environmental footprint is the top priority? No sweat, we'll guide you through this process to find the best fit.

Commonly, a system sized to handle your daytime energy use is the most cost-effective option, getting you that payback faster. Additionally, strategically placing panels facing north can sometimes give you extra savings during peak electricity times.
