Energy Usage

Energy bills in Launceston add up quickly — with 20 kWh of daily consumption, solar can make a real difference to your monthly costs. Average daily consumption sits at around 20 kWh for most Launceston homes, with energy efficient properties typically using substantially less.

Simple changes like sealing draughts, upgrading to LED lighting, and setting hot water timers often cost far less than extra solar panels and deliver immediate bill savings.

Typical energy usage per person per day in Launceston:

Low (Efficient)
~5 kWh
Medium (average)
~10 kWh
High (intensive)
~15+ kWh

Note: Actual usage varies depending on property size, building efficiency, climate, and appliances.

Solar System Sizing

A 5.4kW solar system would typically cover your average daily electricity consumption. Systems sized between 8.1kW and 10.8kW perform best, accounting for natural fluctuations in solar production.

Production peaks in February and dips in June, but across the year a 8.1 kW system in Launceston generates approximately 12,138 kWh in total.

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.

Calculate Electrification Savings

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 Launceston

Solar Battery Sizing

A 8.1 kW solar system without battery storage achieves around 50% self-sufficiency in Launceston, with 50% still coming from the grid. With a 10 kWh battery, your 8.1 kW system can power your home well into the evening, bringing grid reliance down to approximately 6%.

Use Photonik's complete design tool for detailed battery savings and return on investment analysis.

lightbulb A 0kWh battery will make you about 0% self sufficient.

The sweet spot for most households is 5 – 13 kWh — larger batteries add independence but with diminishing payback, especially where feed-in tariffs are low.

Solar & Battery System Cost Launceston

Understanding Solar & Battery System Costs

Solar prices in Launceston have come down significantly in recent years — a 8.1 kW system now costs around $9,683, making the economics more attractive than ever. After the 6.3-year payback period, your solar system continues producing — at current rates, that's potentially 15+ years of savings with minimal maintenance costs.

The breakdown covers equipment, installation, and taxes. Adjust the system size and battery sliders to see how different configurations affect your investment and payback timeline.
