What System is Needed

Before making a purchase, you’ll want to know what kind of system to get. Regardless of the type of system (electricity or hot water you want to generate), there are two main factors to think about when coming up with a decision.

First would be how much you are willing to spend. Panels are rated according to how much electricity they can generate at the sunniest point of the day. For example, the standard system of 1kWh panels is about $4000 with the government rebates. While if you are willing to spend just $500 more, you’ll get a bigger system of 1.5kWh. That’s a half more kW/h of electricity generated compared to what you would have been getting on the $4000 system. Not to mention, the more feed-in tariffs you have, the faster the system gets paid off.

And a second factor would be the amount of electricity used in your home or office. More appliances mean more electricity used. Try to measure the amount of power used in your home to determine which system would cover all appliances used at home if you are depending solely on solar power.
