There's little financial benefit from vastly over-sizing your system, also don't plan to expand your system later on as panel technology is ever-changing and new panels won’t fit old systems. To maximise the power of the sun, you need a tailored system. Essential items to consider are:
Where to install? - North facing is best but East and West can provide a better spread of power feed. Try to avoid shaded areas if you can, if you can't then micro-inverters or optimisers might be better..
How much room do I have on my roof? - This will dictate the size of system you can install or what panel size you need.
How much power do I actually use during daylight hours? - If you use little power during the day then Solar may not be for you.
What is my budget? - Larger systems cost more so how much can I afford and does Solar make financial sense.
How long will I live in my house? - If you are thinking of moving in the next 10 years then will a cheaper system actually add to the value of my property?
How large a system can I install? - Generally up to 3kW is fine, larger systems will require assessment and approval from Western Power. We can help here.
Free Electricity With Solar, while the sun is shining you will be generating electricity, if you are using electricity at this time then it is essentially free. Solar Energy systems can pay for themselves within 3 years, so thereafter the electrical power generated will be free.
Battery Storage Battery storage technology is now available and you can retro-fit a battery to any existing Solar PV system. At the moment though battery storage is expensive and a battery system will take more than 9 years to pay for itself. Technology is ever-changing and prices of batteries are gradually falling, it's only a matter of time before battery storage becomes attractive. No matter what, battery storage for our homes is the future.
