Frequently Asked Questions About Residential Solar
We get a lot of calls and customers tend to ask similar questions. Here we hope to answer some of yours.
How much power does a 6.6 kW solar system produce in Perth?
The amount of power that a 6.6 kW solar system produces in Perth, Western Australia, will vary depending on several factors such as the location, orientation, and tilt of the solar panels. However, on average, a 6.6 kW solar system in Perth can produce around 25-30 kilowatt-hours (kWh) of electricity per day, depending on the amount of sunlight it receives. This can provide a significant portion of a typical household’s electricity needs, reducing their dependence on the grid and saving them money on their electricity bills.
How much can you save on your power bill when you have solar?
The amount you can save on your power bill by having solar panels depends on several factors such as the size of your solar system, your electricity consumption, the cost of electricity from your utility company, your location and climate, and your solar system’s efficiency. On average, homeowners can save 30-50% on their electricity bill by going solar. However, the exact savings can vary and it’s best to get a personalized assessment from a solar professional to determine the potential savings for your specific situation.
Do solar panels work during cloudy weather?
Solar panels can still generate some electricity during cloudy weather, although the output will be significantly lower compared to sunny conditions.
This is because clouds can reduce the amount of sunlight that reaches the solar panels. However, most solar panels are still able to produce some electricity even on overcast days.
Is shade a problem for solar panels?
Yes, shade can be a problem for solar panels. Even a small amount of shading on a portion of a solar panel can significantly reduce its overall output.
This is because solar panels are designed to work in series, meaning that the performance of each panel is linked to the performance of the others. When one panel is shaded, it can lower the output of the entire system.
To maximize the efficiency and performance of a solar panel system, it’s important to make sure that the panels are installed in a location that is free from shading from buildings, trees, or other obstructions.
If shading is unavoidable, it may be necessary to use technologies such as microinverters or optimizers that can help mitigate its effects.
