\"auSSII<\/p>\n

Judging by visitor and quote request activity on SQ during the month of March, Australia’s rooftop solar power rush is far from over.<\/p>\n

System Capacity Preference<\/h2>\n

6kW<\/a> and larger solar power systems<\/a> continued their upward climb in popularity, representing 63% of quote requests where a capacity was specified – up from February’s ~60% and January’s 58%. As was the case in February, around 32% of all submissions requested advice on system sizing<\/a>..<\/p>\n

\"System<\/p>\n

Solar Purchase Intent<\/h2>\n

Again we saw Australians sitting back a little when it came to wanting to purchase a system immediately – down to around 18%, compared to 19% in February, 21% in January and a whopping 26% in December. But this doesn’t mean there’s a lack of enthusiasm in getting solar panels installed quite soon – close to 82% were wanting a system anytime from immediately to within 3 months, up slightly on February’s 81%.<\/p>\n

\"Solar<\/p>\n

Price And Quality Preference<\/h2>\n

Those wanting a top quality (most expensive) system dropped back to 12% after reaching 14% in February. Part of the loss went to those requesting quotes for a system that had a balance of quality and price, at a bit over 80% (79% in February).\u00a0 Those opting for a\u00a0 \u201cgood budget system<\/a>\u201d remained around the 7% mark.<\/p>\n

\"Solar<\/p>\n

Battery Ready PV Systems<\/h2>\n

There was another drop in interest in “battery-ready” solar power systems – a bit under 27% compared to February’s 28%, January\u2019s 29% and December’s 30%.\u00a0 While most PV systems are considered \u201cbattery-ready\u201d, we ask this question to help prospective installers with designing a system when quoting.<\/p>\n

\"Battery<\/p>\n

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

Just 7% indicated interest in battery storage being\u00a0installed at the same time as their solar power system – perhaps more Australians are cottoning on to the fact that if you want the best returns and fastest payback, solar-only is still the way to go.<\/p>\n

\"Concurrent<\/p>\n

Battery Capacity Preference<\/h2>\n

For those using our service who did want a concurrent battery installation and specified capacity, approximately 20% were after a 1-5kWh unit (18% in February), 39% a 5-10kWh (43% in February) and 40% a 10kWh+ battery (February 38%). 50% of the overall total interested in a battery to go with their PV system requested advice on selecting capacity.<\/p>\n

\"Battery<\/p>\n

Intended Battery Application<\/h2>\n

Just on 6% were wanting a solar battery<\/a> primarily for backup purposes (5% in February, 3% in January and ~4% in December) and around 43% for minimising grid electricity use \u2013 down on February’s 45%.\u00a0 Again last month, just under 51% wanted a battery for both applications.<\/p>\n

\"Intended<\/p>\n

Electricity Bills – What Are People Paying?<\/h2>\n

Where quarterly electricity bill amounts were known, 47% reported $500 \u2013 $1,000 (46% in February). Close to 12% said they quarterly electricity bills of $1,000 or more (11% in January and December) .<\/p>\n

\"How<\/p>\n

Next Month – System Monitoring<\/h2>\n

In the next auSSII, we’ll begin publishing statistics on interest in solar monitoring. Learn why a solar monitoring system is a wise choice<\/a>.<\/p>\n

About The auSSII Report<\/h2>\n

The information above is based on responses provided by thousands of Australians utilising our solar quote service<\/a> each month to receive system pricing and details from SQ\u2019s network of installers, all of whom are thoroughly pre-vetted<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Not All Solar Sales Leads Are Equal<\/h2>\n

Solar quoting sites come and go, but we’ve been around since 2009. Our longevity is due to a focus on providing quality sales leads to installers who really care about their clients and the quality of their work. Read more about our solar sales lead services<\/a>.<\/p>\n
