\"auSSII<\/p>\n

Interest from Australians in solar power systems during April continued to indicate bigger is better, and budget solar is trumped by quality.<\/p>\n

System Size Choices<\/h2>\n

While 5kW<\/a> packages continue to dominate (making up 43% of quote requests where a size was specified) and 6kW solar systems<\/a> also had a strong showing (~21%), many Australians are now looking even larger, with 16% wanting pricing on installing systems bigger than 6kW. 39% of overall quote requests asked for advice on system sizing<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"PV<\/p>\n

Solar Power System Purchase Timeframe<\/h2>\n

In April, 17% of Australians using our service were ready to buy a system immediately, well up from March (14%) and also up on February (15%) and January (16%). 24% wanted to buy within 4 weeks (down from 26% in March). For anywhere from now to 3 months, the figure was 75%; similar to March.<\/p>\n

\"Solar<\/p>\n

A Combination Of Good Quality And Price<\/h2>\n

As in previous months, approximately 79% of Australians were wanting to install a system that was a \u201ca good mix of quality and price\u201d.\u00a0 The \u201cgood budget system\u201d option also remained steady at 7% and \u201ctop quality (most expensive)\u201d was again around the 14% mark.<\/p>\n

\"solar<\/p>\n

Battery Ready Systems<\/h2>\n

Interest in battery-ready systems jumped significantly in April , with 29% registering this option (March: 14%, February: 12% and January: 11%). While all grid connect systems can be considered battery ready, we ask this question on the quote form to help installers who will be providing a quote to understand the prospective purchaser’s future intentions; as this will influence system design.<\/p>\n

\"battery<\/p>\n

Concurrent Solar + Battery System Installation<\/h2>\n

In April, 5.2% of submitters requested a quote for a concurrent solar power + battery installation – this figure has remained relatively static since we began the auSSII last year. As in other months, during April we had a flag display when submitters select solar + storage indicating ballpark pricing and offering a battery-ready option instead in order to help avoid “sticker-shock” when people receive quotes. Solar + storage is still very pricey and generally speaking, better bang for buck can be realised through solar-only at this stage.<\/p>\n

\"concurrent<\/p>\n

Battery System Size Preference<\/h2>\n

For those who did proceed with requesting a solar + storage installation quote and had a battery size in mind, 48% were wanting a home battery system<\/a> with 10kWh+ capacity. As with solar power system sizing, many weren’t sure of what they wanted, with 48% requesting advice in this regard.<\/p>\n

\"Battery<\/p>\n

Primary Battery Use<\/h2>\n

4% wanted to install a battery primarily for backup (2% in March, 5% in February and 4% in January), 44% for\u00a0 minimising grid electricity use\u00a0 (43% in March, 46% in Feb. and 42% in Jan.) and 53% for both applications (55%: March, 49%: February and 54% in Jan.)<\/p>\n

\"battery<\/p>\n

Average Quarterly Electricity Bills<\/h2>\n

Just over 46% of those submitting for quotes indicated they had quarterly electricity bills $500 \u2013 $1,000 \u2013 up on March (45%) and February (44%). As in March, 12% reported quarterly bills of $1,000 or greater. Approximately 7% weren\u2019t sure what they paid per quarter on average, as was the case in March and February.<\/p>\n
