Solar Design Argentina


Energy Usage

To choose the right solar system in Argentina, start by understanding your daily electricity consumption. Most households in Argentina use around 15 kWh per day, whilst energy efficient homes can reduce this to roughly half.

It's worth reducing your energy usage before going solar, as this can decrease the system size you need and improve payback. Focus on better insulation and energy efficient appliances.

Typical energy usage per person per day in Argentina:

Low (Efficient)
~3 kWh
Medium (average)
~4 kWh
High (intensive)
~6+ kWh

Note: Actual usage varies depending on property size, building efficiency, climate, and appliances.

Solar System Sizing

To offset your average consumption, you'd need roughly 3.9kW of solar capacity. For best results, size your system between 5.9kW and 7.9kW to account for fluctuations in solar output throughout the day and year.

Expect around 28.2 kWh daily from a 6.6 kW system in Argentina, with production varying from 3.37 kWh/kW/day in June to 4.82 kWh/kW/day in October.

A 6.6 kW system in Argentina can generate approximately 0 kWh annually based on local sun conditions.

Solar & Energy Savings


Calculate Heat Pump & EV Savings

Electrify your home by replacing gas heating, petrol vehicles, and other fossil fuel appliances with electric alternatives powered by clean solar energy. This delivers significant additional financial savings and substantial carbon emission reductions. Our calculator helps you compare costs and model the financial impact of switching to electric appliances and vehicles.

How Solar Reduces Your Electricity Bills

The calculations below show how your electricity bills change with solar. Your Old Bill of - per month (- annually) is calculated from your total energy consumption multiplied by the grid electricity rate. Your New Bill of - per month (- annually) accounts for solar generation, the percentage you use directly (self-consumption), remaining grid consumption, and feed-in credits for excess energy exported to the grid. This results in monthly savings of - (- annually).

Battery Storage Argentina


Solar Battery Sizing

Without battery storage, a 6.6 kW system in Argentina achieves approximately 50% energy self-sufficiency, with the remaining 50% supplied by the grid. A 10 kWh battery storage system can raise your energy independence to approximately 99% annually, lowering grid reliance to 1%.

Solar & Battery System Cost Argentina


Understanding Solar & Battery System Costs

Solar systems in Argentina are priced around $1,451,878 for a 6.6 kW installation, rising to approximately $2,586,928 when including a 10 kWh battery. Solar installations typically pay for themselves within around 7.2 years, whilst batteries extend payback but deliver significantly higher energy independence.

Pricing includes equipment, labour, and taxes. Use the sliders to adjust system size and battery capacity, observing how changes impact total cost and payback.
