\"Australian<\/p>\n

In January, Australians were eager to start tackling their electricity bills with a solar power system. Here’s what those utilising our service were looking for last month.<\/p>\n

Solar System Size Preference<\/h2>\n

Among Australians who already knew what capacity they wanted, 78% requested details on a 6kW solar system<\/a> or larger. This was up from 76% in December and November; so back to an upwards trend after stabilising in the final month of 2019. Around 32% who submitted a quote request wanted advice on system sizing<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"Solar<\/p>\n

Solar Power Purchase Timeframe<\/h2>\n

23% of those using our service wanted to buy a system immediately – a big drop on December’s 32% (26% in November, 22% in October). The eagerness in December was attributable to Australia’s solar rebate dropping on January 1 and the scare tactics used by some dodgy advertisers in relation to this. However, the subsidy is still very generous – read more about Australia\u2019s solar rebate in 2020<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In January, 85% of inquirers were considering a purchase within the next three months, compared to just over 88%\u00a0 in December and 89% in November.<\/p>\n

\"Solar<\/p>\n

System Quality vs. Cost<\/h2>\n

January saw 13.5% requesting pricing on a \u201ctop quality\u201d (most expensive) solar package, the first time this figure has moved for quite a while – usually it’s been around the 12% mark. Most of the gain was at the expense of the good quality budget system<\/a> category (7% vs. 8% in December). Just over 79% were wanting a system offering a balance between quality and cost.<\/p>\n

\"Solar<\/p>\n

Advanced Solar Consumption Monitoring<\/h2>\n

Last month the level of interest in advanced consumption monitoring jumped up to 65% (62% in December), which will make Finn happy – he’s a big fan of advanced solar monitoring – here’s why<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"Solar<\/p>\n

Battery Ready Systems<\/h2>\n

Just on 24% were after a battery-ready system (22% in December and November). Just about all solar power systems could be considered battery-ready, but we ask about this to help prospective providers with system design.<\/p>\n

\"Battery-ready<\/p>\n

Solar + Battery Install<\/h2>\n

Again in January, 6% indicated they wished to have a battery installed at the same time as their solar panels. The home battery storage revolution in Australia (and elsewhere) is yet to begin – in terms of new installations anyway. That’s not surprising given the cost of solar batteries<\/a> is still very high.<\/p>\n

To understand the differences between cost and payback on a solar power system with and without storage, try our new solar and battery calculator<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"Solar<\/p>\n

Battery Storage Size<\/h2>\n

Where a battery system was desired and the capacity known, 42% wanted a 10kWh+ unit (37% in December and 41% in November), around the same were considering 5-10kWh (49% in December and 41% in November), and 16% a 1-5kWh system (14% in December and 18% in November).<\/p>\n

\"Battery<\/p>\n

Intended Battery Application<\/h2>\n

January saw 4% of battery-related requests indicating backup as the primary application (6% in December, 4% in November). Close to 44% were primarily interested in minimising grid electricity consumption (41% in December and November), and 52% for both backup and minimising grid electricity use.<\/p>\n

\"Solar<\/p>\n

Quarterly Power Bills<\/h2>\n

Where electricity costs were known, 43% indicated their power bills were between $500 and $1,000 a quarter on average (47% in December and 48% in November). Just over 10% were being slugged more than $1,000 a quarter.<\/p>\n

While the figures above relate to electricity bills pre-solar panels, on a somewhat related note solar power system owners might want to check out our new tool for comparing electricity plans<\/a> – you can learn more about how to use it here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

About The auSSII Report<\/h2>\n

Australians submit their details to us for solar quotes<\/a> matched to their requirements from up to three pre-vetted solar businesses<\/a> we trust. It’s these submissions that provide the information we use in the auSSII report.<\/p>\n
