Cost of solar is it worth it?

Your investment in Solar power is recouped by the average $900 yearly savings solar panels provide. So for a 5kW system, the cost is recovered within 5-6 years. And if you are home during the day the savings equal a faster payback period of 3-4 years. Homes with solar installed can expect power bills to be reduced by 30% to 60%. These figures are put forward by Solar Victoria which is a government body – so independent of commercial influences.

How Much Does Solar Cost?

Including the built-in solar power rebate, the cost for an average 5kW system is under $5,000. Obviously, the final cost will depend on the size of the solar panel system installed. It’s no use installing solar panels that do not generate enough energy for the size of your home. We will as part of our quote process for solar panel prices make sure you have the right size system.

Solar Savings

Something to consider also is the quality of the solar panels getting installed. Max Power never uses cheap solar systems made overseas. Our panels last a long time and are top quality. So by choosing us as your solar installer you get excellent value for money. The panel’s cell efficiency and panel design are built to deliver powerful solar energy to your home. And they will last a lot longer than cheap flimsy overseas panels.

Financial Benefits of Solar

Solar works by offsetting your energy consumption, reducing the electricity amount you buy from your electricity retailer. On average it is between 20-40c per kWh cost to buy from your retailer. The solar system uses solar power first before allowing energy to be bought from the retailer grid.  

The other financial benefit you get from solar is the feed-in tariff for your excess energy that goes back into the grid. This is the energy your system generates but is not needed for your use – excess energy. Victoria’s mandatory minimum rate is 10.2c per kWh but can be more with some retailers.

The independent solar governing body advises the average cost per year with solar equates to $900 per year. So that’s a payback period of around 5 years. And you can also get an interest free loan (same amount of rebate) amount, up to $1850 which has a 4 year payment period.
