A few years ago, people assumed that the solar panel system on the rooftop was expensive and that the return could not justify the investment.
Though there are plenty of incentives for solar batteries and solar panel ownership, many find it challenging to determine what sort of returns they should expect or the return of investment (ROI) for solar for homes.
Solar batteries are expensive, and their price will decrease over the years, and it is best to wait for them to become cheap.Only a rooftop solar system is enough for our home.
We don't need solar batteries.It is better to stay connected to a grid system instead.
Besides, you also get financial incentives and plenty of advantages.Here are some of the determinants that you can consider when evaluating the ROI for the solar for home.FIT or Feed-in tariff: These are the financial incentives one can get depending upon which state they live in and its location.
For example, the peak hour can be around two to eight pm when all the members are at home from school or the office.
A recent study conducted by the Clean Energy Regulator (CER) attests to over 76,000 new installations of solar PV systems in the quarter of January to March 2021 alone.
In fact, a 12-month reporting lag tells us that the actual number of installations is well over 85,000 in the said quarter.
Of these installations, 86% are accounted for by National Electricity Market states, and the remaining 14% by Western Australia.More interestingly, however, the latest quarterly solar report by the Australian Energy Council reveals an astonishing story that has unfolded in the first quarter of 2021.
The installations are on a steady rise, but it isn’t simply that.
It’s also the average size of the solar PV systems being installed across Australian households and businesses that’s increasing.The trend observed in the growth of average capacity of small-scale solar PV systems (<100kW) –December 2020: 8.86kWJanuary 2021: 7.85kWFebruary 2021: 7.75kWMarch 2021: 7.74kWIt’s worth noting that the average capacity of solar PV systems for residences and small businesses marks an increase almost every year in December, since 2017, and then undergoes a considerable fall in January, cresting again through the year till it peaks in December.The above graph clearly delineates the trend of growth in the size of average system capacity.
In the case of residential solar systems, the size can be increased subject to the availability of rooftop space, whereas commercial solar offers more flexibility.The survey also throws light on the number of solar battery installations done in 2021 – 1,400 units.
People in a tiny town in Western Australia have shown the rest of the world how to become independent with solar energy.
The small and humble town of Onslow has achieved a massive feat by going off the grid with Solar for home.
All the houses have a combination of large and small-scale residential solar panels and solar batteries.
Though less than 1000 people are living there, it is still a significant milestone.Onslow has shown that it is possible to adapt to the needs of the environment.
Though it is the home of a significant gas-fired power station, they chose to go the extra mile and build a local microgrid to become solar positive.They have built a 600kW solar array on top of a 700kW generator from their rooftop PV systems.
Reaching the 100 per cent mark seemed far away from a while ago, but now they have done it.They have built a 600kW solar array on top of a 700kW generator from their rooftop PV systems.
