How much can I save with solar power in Melbourne?
Australia really is a sun-burnt country and even though Melbourne is generally cooler than other cities, there’s still more than enough sunshine to justify installing solar power in homes across Victoria. In fact, over 500,000 Victorian households already use solar power to reduce their electricity bills. All together they generate about a third of Victoria’s residential electricity demand.
Plus, as the cost of solar technology decreases, and the government are offering solar & battery incentives to reduce your outlay, switching to a solar & battery system has become a no-brainer!
The amount of money you can save on your power bill by installing a solar power system in your Melbourne or regional Victoria home depends on your household’s energy consumption patterns as well as where your solar panels are positioned. The way your solar panels are oriented, their tilt and the presence of shade all affect the amount of electricity they produce and are all important factors in determining your savings. However, the table below can give you an indication of the kind of savings you can expect:
System Size | Approx Savings Without Battery (Year 1)* | Maximum Saving With Battery (Year 1)** |
|---|
| 3.3kW | $425 - $744 | $1,276 |
| 5kW | $645 - $1,128 | $1,934 |
| 6.6kW | $851 - $1,489 | $2,552 |
| 10kW | $1,289 - $2,256 | $3,867 |
| 13.3kW | $1,715 - $3,000 | $5,144 |
*Savings range assumes 20 – 50% of the solar power is used
**Max savings assumes 100% of the solar power is used

What type of solar panels should I install in Victoria?
Melbourne and greater Victoria’s extreme weather conditions make it essential that your solar power system can withstand anything and everything Mother Nature throws at it. With this in mind, we strongly recommend you choose a system that is designed with Australia’s weather conditions in mind.
There’s nothing worse than being left high and dry because your manufacturer does not support Australian warranty claims or has gone out of business. We recommend brands that have been designed to withstand the harshest conditions and have close relationships with manufacturers to support you in any warranty claims you may make in the future.
