\"auSSII<\/p>\n

There was heightened interest in installing solar panels in August, driven primarily by the announcement of Victoria’s Solar Homes rebate.<\/p>\n

However, it wasn’t just Victoria where Australians were shopping for solar at increased levels, we also saw an uptick in NSW, SA, Queensland and Western Australia.<\/p>\n

Solar Power System Size Preference<\/h2>\n

Where a specific size or size range was given 6kW solar systems<\/a> and larger made up approximately 50% of quote requests. Interest in 5kW systems continued its downward trend, dropping to 33% (36% in July). Just under 31% of all quote submissions indicated guidance was needed in sizing a solar power system<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"IMAGE<\/p>\n

Intended Purchase Timeframe<\/h2>\n

Australians appeared a little keener to have solar panels installed immediately, with 18% indicating a timeframe of straight away compared to 16% in July and 17% in June. Generally speaking, there was a greater sense of urgency in having a system installed sooner rather than later, with 84% indicating a desire to do so any time from right now to three months – up quite a bit on July (81%), June (79%), May (77%) and April (75%).<\/p>\n

\"Solar<\/p>\n

Quality Vs. Price<\/h2>\n

Not much changes when it comes to issues of price vs. quality, with approximately 79% wanting quotes for systems that were \u201ca good mix of quality and price\u201d in August. The \u201ctop quality (most expensive)\u201d option was again selected by approximately 13% and \u201cgood budget system\u201d interest hovered around the 8% mark. On a related note, SQ’s Ronald published an article late last month that may be of interest to budget system shoppers: Budget Solar Power: How To Save Money While Avoiding Disaster<\/a><\/p>\n

\"Solar<\/p>\n

Battery Ready Solar Interest<\/h2>\n

Battery-ready system interest inched up again in August to a bit over 30% compared to July’s just under 30% and June\u2019s 29%. We ask a question on our quoting form<\/a> regarding future interest in battery storage systems this can influence system design.<\/p>\n

\"Battery<\/p>\n

Solar + Battery Installations<\/h2>\n

Interest in having solar battery storage<\/a> installed at the same time as solar panels wound back to a significant degree in August, to around 7%. For several months prior it had been at approximately 10%. The reduction in interest was very noticeable in Victoria – in July it was 11% and in August 6.5%. This may have to do with the nature of the Victorian Solar Homes Rebate<\/a>, but there was also a significant reduction in New South Wales.<\/p>\n

\"Concurrent<\/p>\n

Battery Storage Capacity<\/h2>\n

During August, 30% of submitters wanting batteries and with a capacity in mind requested pricing on 10kWh+ storage systems, well down on July’s 38%. Interest in 5-10kWh capacity range picked up from July’s 43% to close to 49% – similar to June, while 56% of overall solar battery related quote requests asked for advice on capacity\/size<\/a>, (July 59%, June 57%).<\/p>\n

\"Battery<\/p>\n

Battery Use<\/h2>\n

The percentage of those wanting to install solar batteries<\/a> primarily for backup purposes remained within the 2 – 4% range we’ve seen for over a year (3%). 49% said a battery would be primarily utilised for minimising grid electricity use and 48% for both.<\/p>\n

\"Solar<\/p>\n

Electricity Bill Costs<\/h2>\n

Around 46% of those submitting for a quote reported quarterly electricity bills averaging $500 \u2013 $1,000 (47% in July, 46% in June, 44% in May) and 10% said they were forking out $1,000 or more. 7% said they were unsure of what they paid on average per quarter.<\/p>\n
