Solar for Australian homes
Residential Solar Installation Australia
Plan a home solar system around the way your household uses electricity. Esteem Energy assesses roof conditions, energy use, electrical supply and future battery or appliance plans before recommending a system.
Start with your electricity use
Recent bills and daytime consumption help establish how much solar may be used directly. Future plans such as air conditioning, an electric vehicle, pool equipment or a battery should also be considered.
Review the roof and site
Usable roof area, orientation, pitch, shading, material, condition and access all influence panel layout and installation. An assessment also checks the switchboard, phase supply and proposed inverter location.
Compare suitable system sizes
Popular nominal sizes include 6.6kW, 10.5kW, 13.2kW and 19.5kW. Suitability depends on the property; a larger number is not automatically the better choice.
Plan for a battery
Battery readiness can be discussed even when storage is not installed immediately. Inverter selection, switchboard space, proposed location and household goals can affect how easily storage is added later.
How home solar works
Solar panels generate DC electricity and an inverter converts it into AC electricity for household use. Solar power is generally used by active household loads first. Surplus electricity may be exported to the grid or stored in a compatible solar battery.
Actual generation and bill impact vary with weather, shading, system design, electricity tariffs and when energy is consumed. Any savings estimate should be treated as indicative until the property and bills are assessed.
