Solar Design Adelaide - North
Energy Usage
Understanding your household's energy usage is essential for sizing a solar system in Adelaide - North. The average household uses around 25 kWh per day, whilst energy efficient properties may use only half that.
Consider reducing your energy consumption first through better insulation and efficient appliances, as this can reduce the solar system size needed and improve your investment returns.
Typical energy usage per person per day in Adelaide - North:
Note: Actual usage varies depending on property size, building efficiency, climate, and appliances.
Solar System Sizing
You'll need around 6.6kW of solar to match your average consumption. We recommend sizing between 9.9kW and 13.2kW for optimal results as solar output fluctuates daily and seasonally.
A 6.6 kW system in Adelaide - North generates approximately 28.2 kWh daily on average, with seasonal variation from 3.39 kWh/kW/day in June to 4.82 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 Adelaide - North
Solar Battery Sizing
Solar-only systems in Adelaide - North typically provide 50% self-usage with a 6.6 kW installation, meaning 50% of your electricity still comes from the grid. Including a 10 kWh battery typically raises annual self-sufficiency to around 86%, with grid reliance dropping to 14%.
Accurate battery savings and ROI require the full Photonik design platform for comprehensive calculations.
