\"auSSII<\/p>\n

The trend towards increasingly larger solar power systems continued in February as Australians sought to get the best returns from the electricity bill-busting technology.<\/p>\n

System Capacity Stats<\/h2>\n

More Australians are thinking really big when it comes to solar. 6 months ago, the proportion of those who had a capacity in mind and specified systems larger than 6kW was around 19% – last month it hit 24%.<\/p>\n

For 6kW<\/a> or higher, the proportion has crept up to just shy of 60% – up from 58% in January. There’s still a significant number of potential solar buyers wanting advice on system sizing<\/a> – around 32% of all submissions – and that’s a good thing, assuming of course they are getting that advice from a good installer.<\/p>\n

\"System<\/p>\n

Installation Timeframe<\/h2>\n

Interest in having a solar power system installed immediately again tapered off in February to around 19% (January 21%, December 26% November 24%). There was also a drop-off in the proportion wanting a system installed anytime from right away to within 3 months – 81% in February vs. 84% in January and 86% in December and November.<\/p>\n

\"Solar<\/p>\n

Solar Price And Quality Preference<\/h2>\n

Approximately 79% were wanting a system that was \u201ca good mix of quality and price\u201d – so not much change there (80% in January and 79% in December). However, there was an uptick those wanting a top quality (most expensive) system (~14% vs. 12% in January) and the figure for a \u201cgood budget system<\/a>\u201d remained at 7%.<\/p>\n

\"Solar<\/p>\n

Battery Ready PV Systems<\/h2>\n

February again saw another reduction in the proportion of those after battery-ready systems \u2013 down to around 28% compared to January’s 29% and Decembers 30%.\u00a0 Most solar power systems\u00a0 are \u201cbattery-ready\u201d to some degree, but we ask this question to help inform\u00a0 system design for prospective installers.<\/p>\n

\"Battery<\/p>\n

Solar + Battery Installation Interest<\/h2>\n

Only around 8% indicated they were interested in battery storage\u00a0installed at the same time as their solar power system. Australia isn’t there yet in terms of battery pricing and the extra bucks are better spent on a bigger solar panel system.<\/p>\n

\"Concurrent<\/p>\n

Battery Capacity Preference<\/h2>\n

For those who did request concurrent battery installation and specified capacity, around 18% wanted 1-5kWh (16% in January), 43% requested pricing for a 5-10kWh battery (January 48%) and 38% a 10kWh+ system (January 36%). 52% of the overall total wanted advice on battery sizing. This number tends to bounce between 50% and 55%.<\/p>\n

\"Battery<\/p>\n

Intended Battery Use<\/h2>\n

Close to 5% were wanting a solar battery<\/a> primarily for backup purposes (3% in January and ~4% in December) and 45% for minimising grid electricity use – down quite a bit on January’s 50%.\u00a0 Just under 51% wanted a battery for both applications (47% in January).<\/p>\n

\"Intended<\/p>\n

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

Among those who knew what their quarterly electricity bill amounts were, 46% reported $500 \u2013 $1,000; getting back down towards December\u2019s figure of 45% after rising to 49% in January. As in January and December, 11% said they quarterly electricity bills of $1,000 or more.<\/p>\n
