Energy Usage
Understanding your household's energy usage is essential for sizing a solar system in Bunbury. Average daily consumption sits at around 24 kWh for most Bunbury homes, with energy efficient properties typically using substantially less.
It's worth reducing your energy usage before going solar, as this can decrease the system size you need and improve payback. Focus on better insulation and energy efficient appliances.
Typical energy usage per person per day in Bunbury:
Note: Actual usage varies depending on property size, building efficiency, climate, and appliances.
Solar System Sizing
For a Bunbury household using 24 kWh daily, 6.4kW is the baseline — your roof space, budget, and future plans will determine whether to go larger. With limited roof space, higher-efficiency panels can help you reach the 9.7kW to 12.9kW sweet spot using fewer panels.
While June is the weakest month for solar in Bunbury, February more than makes up for it — and a battery can help bridge the gap between seasonal highs and lows.
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 Bunbury
Solar Battery Sizing
The 50% self-use figure reflects how much solar generation aligns with when you actually use power — shifting more usage to daylight hours can improve this without adding panels. Beyond the bill savings, a 10 kWh battery at 87% self-sufficiency also provides backup power during outages — an increasingly valued feature for homeowners.
Battery economics depend on your specific tariff structure and usage patterns — the Photonik design tool can model these scenarios with your actual electricity plan.
