Energy Usage

The right solar system size for your Perth property depends on how much electricity you use each day. Keep in mind that 26 kWh is an annual average — summer air conditioning or winter heating can push daily usage well above this in Perth.

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 Perth:

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

You'll need around 7.0kW of solar to match your average consumption. Sizing your system between 10.5kW and 13.9kW accounts for daily and seasonal variations in solar generation.

The seasonal spread from 3.53 kWh/kW/day in June to 4.83 kWh/kW/day in February is normal for Perth — good system sizing accounts for this variation.

A 8 kW system in Perth can generate approximately 12661.0 kWh annually based on local sun conditions.

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 Perth


Solar Battery Sizing

A solar-only system in Perth covers about 50% of your energy needs during daylight hours, but without a battery the 50% you use at night still comes from the grid. A 10 kWh battery storage system can raise your energy independence to approximately 84% annually, lowering grid reliance to 16%.

0 kWh 30 kWh

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.
