Energy Usage
Your daily energy consumption determines the optimal solar system size for your home in Melbourne - Outer East. The average household uses around 25 kWh per day, whilst energy efficient properties may use only half that.
Lowering energy usage before solar installation—via improved insulation and efficient appliances—often reduces required system size and enhances financial returns.
Typical energy usage per person per day in Melbourne - Outer East:
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. Optimal sizing ranges from 9.9kW to 13.2kW to accommodate daily and seasonal generation variations.
In Melbourne - Outer East, a 6.6 kW installation produces around 27.8 kWh per day on average, though output ranges from 3.23 kWh/kW/day during June to 4.80 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 Melbourne - Outer East
Solar Battery Sizing
Solar-only systems in Melbourne - Outer East 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%.
To get precise battery savings and payback figures, use the complete Photonik design platform.
