FAQ
How much will my solar system produce on an average, per day?
Averaged out over any one year, your system should perform to within 90% of these daily Kilowatt outputs per kW installed
(view Clean Energy Council Guidelines) :
Location | Best Month kWh per day |
Worst Month kWh per day |
Annual Average kWh per day |
Brisbane | 4.61 | 3.34 | 4.04 |
Canberra | 5.32 | 2.76 | 4.22 |
Darwin | 5.11 | 3.54 | 4.47 |
Hobart | 4.6 | 2.14 | 3.54 |
Sydney | 4.83 | 2.82 | 3.94 |
Melbourne | 4.59 | 2.22 | 3.58 |
Adelaide | 5.72 | 2.51 | 4.25 |
Alice Springs | 5.19 | 4.21 | 4.81 |
Perth | 5.4 | 2.93 | 4.4 |
Cairns | 4.44 | 3.18 | 3.86 |
System performance has been determined in accordance with AS/NZS 5033.
An average system efficiency has been used - includes PV arrey. Wiring and invertor lossess
For example, a 6 kw system installed in Melbourne will produce on an average 21.48kw per day, more so in Summer and less is Winter.
What performance guarantee do I get on panels and inverters?
All the panels installed by Solar24 are backed by 25 years power output guarantee, ensuring that the panel will deliver a minimum of 90% output performance up to 10 years, and a minimum of 80% output performance up to 25 years
The warranties on inverters vary from 5yrs to 10 years depending on the manufacturer. Additional warranty can always be purchased at an additional cost.
What is the best orientation for my solar panels?
Ideally North facing solar panels will generate the most energy overall, but less in the morning and late afternoon as compared to the east and west facing panels.
Next West, Panels installed on a west facing roof will generate more power in the late afternoon.
East Facing, these panels will generate more power in the morning.
East and west-facing panels will produce about 15% less energy per year compared to north facing.
