Solar Design Adelaide - Central and Hills
Energy Usage
Understanding your household's energy usage is essential for sizing a solar system in Adelaide - Central and Hills. Most households in Adelaide - Central and Hills use around 25 kWh per day, whilst energy efficient homes can reduce this to roughly half.
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 Adelaide - Central and Hills:
Note: Actual usage varies depending on property size, building efficiency, climate, and appliances.
Solar System Sizing
A 6.6kW solar system would typically cover your average daily electricity consumption. Sizing your system between 9.9kW and 13.2kW accounts for daily and seasonal variations in solar generation.
A 6.6 kW solar installation in Adelaide - Central and Hills typically produces 28.2 kWh per day on average, with seasonal output ranging between 3.39 kWh/kW/day (June) and 4.82 kWh/kW/day (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 Adelaide - Central and Hills
Solar Battery Sizing
Solar-only systems in Adelaide - Central and Hills typically provide 50% self-usage with a 6.6 kW installation, meaning 50% of your electricity still comes from the grid. A 10 kWh battery storage system can raise your energy independence to approximately 86% annually, lowering grid reliance to 14%.
Accurate battery savings and ROI require the full Photonik design platform for comprehensive calculations.
