Solar Design Australian Capital Territory
Energy Usage
How much energy your Australian Capital Territory home uses daily directly impacts the solar system size you'll need. The average household uses around 25 kWh per day, whilst energy efficient properties may use only half that.
Reducing your energy consumption before installing solar can lower your system size requirements and improve returns. Consider upgrading insulation and switching to energy efficient appliances first.
Typical energy usage per person per day in Australian Capital Territory:
Note: Actual usage varies depending on property size, building efficiency, climate, and appliances.
Solar System Sizing
A solar system sized at approximately 6.6kW would cover your typical daily energy needs. Sizing your system between 9.9kW and 13.2kW accounts for daily and seasonal variations in solar generation.
A 6.6 kW system in Australian Capital Territory generates approximately 28.1 kWh daily on average, with seasonal variation from 3.34 kWh/kW/day in June to 4.81 kWh/kW/day in February.
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 Australian Capital Territory
Solar Battery Sizing
A 6.6 kW solar system without battery storage achieves around 50% self-sufficiency in Australian Capital Territory, with 50% still coming from the grid. With a 10 kWh battery added, energy independence increases to approximately 86% per year, whilst grid dependency falls to 14%.

Solar & Battery System Cost Australian Capital Territory
Understanding Solar & Battery System Costs
Solar installation costs in Australian Capital Territory start at approximately $7,661 for a 6.6 kW system, with a 10 kWh battery bringing the total to around $12,904. Solar systems typically achieve payback in around 5.2 years, whilst adding battery storage extends the payback period but provides greater energy independence.
The cost breakdown shows estimates for equipment costs, installation labour, and applicable taxes. Adjust system size and battery storage to see how it affects total investment and payback periods.
