Energy savings for Residents in Sydney's Northern Beaches

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

5kW system: Produces about 7,100 kWh annually, potentially covering up to 122% of typical household electricity consumption.
6kW system: Produces about 8,520 kWh annually, potentially covering up to 146% of typical household electricity consumption.
10kW system: Produces about 14,200 kWh annually, potentially covering up to 243% of typical household electricity consumption.
13kW system: Produces about 18,460 kWh annually, potentially covering up to 316% of typical household electricity consumption (Solar Choice) (NSW Government).

These systems can help Northern Beaches 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 (Solar Secure). This means that for a 6kW system producing surplus energy, you could receive up to $600 annually from FiTs, further enhancing your savings.

Choosing the right system size

When selecting a solar panel system, consider your household’s energy consumption and your goals for savings and exports. Here’s a breakdown of potential savings for each system size based on current feed-in tariffs and typical consumption patterns in Dee Why:

5kW system:

With an annual production of 7,100 kWh, this system could cover 122% of an average household’s energy needs, resulting in $65 to $130 annually from FiTs, plus annual bill savings of approximately $1,805 to $1,870.

6kW system:

Producing 8,520 kWh annually, this system covers 146% of consumption, earning $136 to $272 from FiTs, and total savings between $1,876 to $2,012 annually.

10kW system:

With a production of 14,200 kWh, this system covers 243% of consumption, leading to $420 to $840 from FiTs and total savings of $2,160 to $2,580 annually.

13kW system:

Producing 18,460 kWh annually, this system covers 316% of consumption, resulting in $633 to $1,266 from FiTs, and total savings ranging from $2,373 to $3,006 annually.
