Benifits of Residential solar.
How Much Money Will I Save On Electricity Bills With Solar Power?
The average Australian house consumes around 18kWh per day so the size solar system you choose will depend on if you want to partially offset your energy consumption or completely offset your household’s electricity use.
How Much Power Do Solar Panels Generate?
Typically most common household solar panel systems are either 1 kilowatt (kW) or 1.5kW. The table below shows the average daily solar energy production of some common grid-connected systems throughout Australia.
