Solar Design Launceston


Energy Usage

To choose the right solar system in Launceston, start by understanding your daily electricity consumption. Typical homes consume approximately 25 kWh daily on average, though well-insulated properties with efficient appliances often use significantly less.

Before installing solar it is often a good investment to first look to reduce your energy consumption where possible. This can be done through improved insulation, and energy efficient appliances.

Typical energy usage per person per day in Launceston:

Low (Efficient)
~5 kWh
Medium (average)
~10 kWh
High (intensive)
~15+ kWh

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. We recommend sizing between 9.9kW and 13.2kW for optimal results as solar output fluctuates daily and seasonally.

Expect around 27.1 kWh daily from a 6.6 kW system in Launceston, with production varying from 2.98 kWh/kW/day in June to 4.76 kWh/kW/day in February.

1 kW 20 kW

lightbulb We recommend 6.5 - 8.7kW, generating 50 - 100% more than you use.

A 6.6 kW system in Launceston 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 Launceston


Solar Battery Sizing

A 6.6 kW solar system without battery storage achieves around 50% self-sufficiency in Launceston, with 50% still coming from the grid. Adding a 10 kWh battery increases energy independence to approximately 82% annually, reducing grid reliance to 18%.

Solar & Battery System Cost Launceston


Understanding Solar & Battery System Costs

A 6.6 kW solar system in Launceston costs approximately $7,661, while adding a 10 kWh battery increases the total to around $12,904. Solar-only systems typically pay for themselves in around 5.3 years, whilst adding battery storage usually extends payback whilst increasing energy independence.

The pricing breakdown includes equipment, installation labour, and applicable taxes. Use the sliders to adjust system size and battery capacity to see how pricing and payback change.
