Solar PV System / Solar Panels Installation in Brisbane:
Solar PV System / Solar Panels Installation in Brisbane – As of 2021 Census Data, Greater Brisbane was home to more than 2.5 million people, 674,188 families, more than 1.01 million all private dwellings. (1)
Brisbane’s warm and sunny weather, solar irradiation, the ever-rising cost of electricity, technological advancement in the Solar PV Industry, etc. make perfect sense for installing solar panels for all homeowners. Further, as per the Bureau of Meteorology, Brisbane got on average 7-8 hours of sunlight annually – from October to April (summer months) somewhere between 7-8 hours and from May to September (winter months) around 6-7 hours. (2, 3, 4) Hence, more than 40% of dwellings got Solar Panels in majority suburbs of the Greater Brisbane region. (5)
Output of the Solar PV System / Solar Panels in Brisbane
The electricity generated by Solar PV Panels or Solar PV Systems is measured in watt-hours (Wh) or kilowatt-hours (kWh).
As per the Department of Climate Change, Energy, the Environment and Water, depending on the number of hours of sunlight, location, the angle and direction of the Solar PV Panels, and so on, 1 kW of solar panels can generate between 3.5 kWh and 5 kWh per day in Australia. However, Solar PV Panels can produce more than this in summer and less in winter due to the number of sunlight hours. Particularly, for Brisbane it comes to 4.2kWh. (6) A 6.6kW Solar PV System / Solar Panels in Brisbane might generate, on average, about 28 kWh on a sunny day. (7)
Cost for the Solar PV System / Solar Panels Installation in Brisbane:
The Federal Government’s Small-scale Renewable Energy Scheme (SRES) supports the installation of Solar PV Systems / Solar Panels by supplying a particular number of small-scale technology certificates (STCs) for small-generation units. (REC Registry STC Calculator) Depending on the size of the system the number of STCs vary.
The STC Point of Sale Discount directly / indirectly reduces the cost of the Solar PV System / Solar Panels Installation, as it can take care of a major part of the overall system installation cost.
The average cost to get a Solar PV System or Solar Panels in Brisbane after the STC Point of Sale Discount can be:
6.6kW Solar PV System – $3,000 to $6,000+
10.5kW Solar PV System – $4,500 to $7,500+
13.2kW Solar PV System – $6,500 to $10,000+
The cost of Solar PV Systems / Solar Panels Installations in Brisbane varies due to several factors, such as the size of the system, the quality or brand of the Solar PV Panels / Solar Inverter, type of the property (single-storey or multi-storey), type of roof (tin-roof, tile roof, terracotta roof, etc.), type of powerline (single-phase, two-phase or three-phase), site location (metro area or regional area), any work needs to be carried out in the meter box and/or circuit board, and so on.
Return on Investment (ROI) on the Solar PV System / Solar Panels Installation in Brisbane:
Depending on the size, orientation, and sunlight hours, the Solar PV System / Solar Panels Installation in Brisbane can save thousands of dollars yearly. In the case of the ROI, the payback period for a particular system may be less than 2 years and can go up to 4 years plus based on the size of the system, cost involved, electricity usage pattern, and so on.
