Energy savings for Freshwater residents

By installing a solar panel system, homeowners in Freshwater can significantly reduce their electricity bills. Here’s how different system sizes can impact your energy savings:

5kW system: Produces about 7,008 kWh annually, potentially covering up to 120% of typical household electricity consumption.
6kW system: Produces about 8,410 kWh annually, potentially covering up to 144% of typical household electricity consumption.
10kW system: Produces about 14,016 kWh annually, potentially covering up to 240% of typical household electricity consumption.
13kW system: Produces about 18,221 kWh annually, potentially covering up to 312% of typical household electricity consumption.

These systems can help Freshwater homeowners save between $1,509 and $2,314 annually on electricity bills, depending on the size of the system and household energy consumption patterns.

Financial benefits from solar exports

In addition to reducing consumption from the grid, excess energy generated by your solar panels can be exported back to the grid, earning you credits. In New South Wales, feed-in tariffs (FiTs) generally range from 5 to 10 cents per kWh. This means that for a 6kW system producing surplus energy, you could receive up to $600 annually from FiTs, further enhancing your savings.

Savings over time

Investing in a solar panel system can yield significant financial benefits over its lifetime, typically 25 years. Here’s a breakdown of potential savings for each system size:

5kW system:

With annual bill savings of approximately $1,740 and FiT earnings between $60 and $120 annually, total savings over 25 years range from $45,010 to $46,520.

6kW system:

With annual bill savings of approximately $1,740 and FiT earnings between $130 and $261 annually, total savings over 25 years range from $46,762 to $50,025.

10kW system:

With annual bill savings of approximately $1,740 and FiT earnings between $410 and $822 annually, total savings over 25 years range from $53,770 to $64,040.

13kW system:

With annual bill savings of approximately $1,740 and FiT earnings between $621 and $1,242 annually, total savings over 25 years range from $59,026 to $74,552.

The importance of battery storage

Integrating a battery storage system with your solar panels can further enhance your energy independence and savings. A battery allows you to store excess energy produced during the day for use at night or during peak times, reducing reliance on the grid and maximising self-consumption. This not only increases your savings but also provides a backup power source during outages.

Increasing property value
Investing in a solar panel system with battery storage can also increase the value of your property. Homes with solar energy systems are often more attractive to buyers due to the long-term cost savings and environmental benefits. Studies have shown that properties with solar installations sell faster and at higher prices compared to those without.

Solar panels as an investment
Installing solar panels is a smart financial investment that offers long-term returns. The initial cost of installation is offset by substantial savings on electricity bills and potential earnings from feed-in tariffs. Additionally, government incentives and rebates can further reduce upfront costs. Over time, a solar panel system not only pays for itself but also provides a significant return on investment, making it a financially sound and environmentally responsible choice.

By choosing the right system size and integrating battery storage, you can maximise your energy savings and financial returns.
