\"auSSII<\/p>\n

Temperatures climbed in January and so too did interest in installing solar panels – 2019 is gearing up to be another big year for small scale solar power in Australia.<\/p>\n

Here’s what Australians using the SolarQuotes service last month were looking for in a system.<\/p>\n

Solar Power System Sizing<\/h2>\n

The proportion of Australians wanting a 6kW solar system<\/a> or larger capacity stayed stable in January, at a whisker over 58% where a capacity was noted.\u00a0 There was also higher percentage of submitters who wanted advice on choosing a solar power system size<\/a> – close to 33% compared to 31% in December .<\/p>\n

\"System<\/p>\n

Solar Power Installation Timeframe<\/h2>\n

Interest in having a solar power installed immediately dropped off substantially in January to 21% (December was 26%\u00a0 and November 24%). But the vast majority of quote-seekers still wanted panels installed within 3 months – 84% vs. 86% in December and November.<\/p>\n

\"Solar<\/p>\n

Price And Quality Preference<\/h2>\n

Xmas and school holidays may have put a drain on finances, but Australians still weren’t compromising on solar quality. Approximately 80% were interested in a system that was \u201ca good mix of quality and price\u201d (79% in December). Around 12% were wanting a top quality (most expensive) system and 7% a quote on a \u201cgood budget system<\/a>\u201d.<\/p>\n

\"Solar<\/p>\n

Battery Ready Systems<\/h2>\n

January saw a small drop in the proportion of those wanting a battery-ready system – from 30% in December to around 29% in January.\u00a0 While most solar power systems\u00a0 are \u201cbattery-ready\u201d, we ask this question on our quoting form to help inform\u00a0 system design.<\/p>\n

\"Battery<\/p>\n

Concurrent Installation Of Solar + Storage<\/h2>\n

A bit over 8% said they wanted battery storage\u00a0installed along with their solar panels, down on December’s 9%. Although battery prices<\/a> are dropping, installing one still an expensive proposition and much better bang for buck can be gained through spending more on a larger PV system.<\/p>\n

\"Concurrent<\/p>\n

Battery Capacity Choice<\/h2>\n

For those who wanted a concurrent battery installation and had a capacity in mind, approximately 16% expressed an interest in a 1-5kWh capacity device, 48% wanted a 5-10kWh battery and 36% a 10kWh+ system. 50% wanted advice on battery sizing, down on December’s 53% and November\/October\u2019s 55%.<\/p>\n

\"Battery<\/p>\n

Intended Battery Application<\/h2>\n

A touch over 3% were wanting a solar battery primarily for backup purposes (~4% in December), while a little under 50% wanted it for minimising grid electricity consumption – same as December. 47% wanted a battery for both applications (46% in December).<\/p>\n

\"Intended<\/p>\n

Pre-Solar Electricity Bills<\/h2>\n

Where average quarterly electricity bill amounts were known, 49% of submitters reported $500 \u2013 $1,000; quite a jump on December’s 45% and back at November levels. Again in January, 11% reported quarterly electricity bills of $1,000 or more. With their energy costs so high, it’s little wonder these folks were seriously considering solar energy as a way of reining in their power bills.<\/p>\n
