Powering a greener future

This is the most common question for residential solar systems and for obvious reasons, however the answer is not as simple as we sometimes wish it could be. The price of a solar system is driving primarily by the quality of the products, the size of the system and the difficulty of the installation. For these reasons we prefer to know your specific situation to ensure we match your needs to the right solar system.

As a guide, the most common residential solar system we install are 6.6kW and 10kW systems. Pricing on these systems can range anywhere from under $4,000 to $8,000 (6.6kW) and $5000 to over $10,000 (10kW).

Let us know your specifics and we can design a solution that works for you. 

Take your average Australian home as an example.

The average 4 person home has an annual electricity bill of around $2,000*, or a quarterly bill of $500. This means they are consuming about 20kWh of electricity daily.

Now lets install a 6.6kW solar system.

The solar system in this example will generate enough electricity to offset over three quarters of the daily household usage.

The more solar energy you use while it’s being produced the more you will save, but if you can’t use it all it won’t be wasted. In most cases your energy provider will pay you for that electricity. This is known as a “Feed in Tariff“.

By understanding how your energy is consumed, you can see just how much solar can save you. The annual bill for these home owners would be reduced by over half, or around $1,193. Reducing their quarterly bill from $500 down to only $202.

As grid electricity prices continue to rise, the cost of your solar electricity never changes. It’s always free!

Disclaimer: 1) Results will vary based on customers individual circumstances. 2) Estimates of savings are based on an average home in SEQ, Queensland. 3) In developing the estimates and savings outlined in this example assumptions were made in the absence of actual data that may impact the outcomes presented. These were, but not limited to, assumption made on: location, current energy costs, energy consumption profile, proposed system losses, shading losses, future energy cost increases and feed in tariff rate. Any changes to these assumptions will affect the estimates and savings shown in this example.

Getting solar is simple and we are here to help you. Our easy step by step guide shows you how we get you saving on your next power bills.

1. Solar reduces air pollution, as generating electricity with solar panels produces little to no harmful greenhouse gases. The average 4KW solar system in Australia will prevent between 3.75 – 4.05 tonnes of carbon dioxide going into the atmosphere per year.

This is equivalent to offsetting the energy use of an average house for roughly 110 days. That’s a huge step towards mitigating the human impact of climate change.

2. Solar reduces the need for finite resources, as solar energy is renewable. The sun is the world’s most abundant energy source, producing an amazing 173,000 terawatts of solar energy every second, enough to power the world 10,000 times. As we all know, fossil fuels are a finite, non-renewable resource that cause huge and irreparable environmental damage. Switching to solar today is the best way to hedge against the reality of finite fuel resources.

3. Solar reduces water pollution, a little known but huge environmental benefit of solar. Traditional biomass and geothermal power plants, such as natural gas and coal-fired facilities, require massive amounts of water to facilitate their vital cooling requirements. Beside the small amount used in the production of the equipment (unavoidable for all manufacturing processes) solar energy generation requires no water.
