How Much Should You Pay For A Melbourne Solar Panels Installation?
The first step in working out how much to pay for your new solar system is to understand how much power a system generates. That allows you to work out how many panels would be suitable for your home. Our Solar Calculator can quickly help you size up a system, or you can request a callback here and our team will be happy to recommend a system for you.
From there, we can help you with pricing for a number of different systems based on if you want to minimise the return on investment & concentrate on value for money, or you could spend a bit more to maximise quality, longevity and performance.
A top-of-the-range system will feature a 25-year solar panel warranty and higher performance in all weather conditions. Over time, the system will generate a lot more solar power. Therefore it is the better option if you are planning to be in your house for a longer period of time. An example of this would be to look at 1KOMMA5 panels with Enphase Microinverters.
The benefit of a Solar Power System in Melbourne
A 10kW system in Melbourne facing north with no shade will output approximately 32 kWh a day (averaged out across the year):
If you pay a flat rate for your power, the average cost of electricity in Melbourne is approximately 30 cents a kWh (including GST).
Assuming you are on a flat rate for your power, a 10kW solar system could save you over $3000 every year. Critically, as mentioned above, the benefit of solar is to use solar power in the home as it is being generated.
Because Solar Prices in Melbourne have dropped over the last few years, the average-sized solar power system for a home is now around 10kW.
Don’t Get Stung By A Cheap Solar Quote In Melbourne
If you were to get 3 solar power quotes from reputable solar installers in Melbourne, you would find that the prices are all within a few hundred dollars of each other. Yes, there can be slight differences, but for the most part, the quotes will be around the same price. To put it simply, you won’t find a $12,000 system ‘on sale’ for $8,000.
Our Aim Is To Help You Minimise Your Power Bills
Our primary aim is no longer to maximise your return on investment because doing so would mean buying a very small solar system. This made sense 5 years ago when solar was so expensive. However, now that solar is cheap and battery storage is available, most customers want to install a system that will minimise their power bill.
This is totally different to worrying about ROI, and it will mean you can save much more money over the life of the system.
Furthermore, good-quality solar panels are now so cheap that it no longer makes sense to consider the bottom end of the solar market. You can have the best solar panels from the world’s leading manufacturers, online monitoring, a professional installation, and full technical support.
