\"auSSII<\/p>\n

Summer air-conditioning bills and the looming solar rebate reduction were likely on the minds of the many Australians wanting to go solar during December.<\/p>\n

Solar Power System Sizing<\/h2>\n

The proportion of Australians interested in a solar power system larger than 6 kilowatts capacity (45%) started to pull further ahead of 6kW systems (40%) in December. Interest in 3 or 4 kilowatt systems still sat at around 4% combined, while for 5kW systems it was around 11%; down on November’s 13%.<\/p>\n

SQ’s Ronald mentioned yesterday some of the installers SolarQuotes works with were averaging more than 8kW capacity per system installed in 2020 – and capacity was still rising.<\/p>\n

\"Solar<\/p>\n

Purchasing Timeframe<\/h2>\n

Even with the festive season looming, there was very strong appetite for buying a solar power system immediately (30.8%). This was higher than November’s result of 28% (October: 24%, September: 23%). Another reduction in Australia’s solar rebate<\/a> on January 1 likely played a significant role.<\/p>\n

But don’t panic if you haven’t started on getting panels installed yet. The solar rebate is still very generous<\/a>, but bear in mind the longer you put off installing panels the longer you’re locked into paying electricity bills a lot higher than they would otherwise be with a system installed.<\/p>\n

\"System<\/p>\n

Price And Quality<\/h2>\n

Approximately 11% of solar buyers were wanting a quote on a “top quality” (most expensive) system – down a little on November, October and September’s 12%. The loss there went to systems offering a good balance of quality and cost (~81%), while interest in budget systems (but good quality) was static at around 8%.<\/p>\n

\"Price<\/p>\n

Consumption Monitoring Interest<\/h2>\n

Interest in advanced monitoring (consumption monitoring) again continued its downwards slide in December, dropping to approximately 39% (45% in November). Back in July last year, interest sat at 69%. The continuing drop interest will make SQ founder Finn a little sad as he’s a big fan of this option- and here’s why<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"Advanced<\/p>\n

Microinverter\/Power Optimiser Option<\/h2>\n

Nearly 12% of Australians using the SolarQuotes service in November expressed an interest in having either microinverters or power optimisers installed (13% in November). Both are a form of Panel Level Optimisation (PLO), which can be particularly beneficial in some installation scenarios. You can learn more about Panel Level Optimisation options here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"Microinverter<\/p>\n

\u201cBattery-Ready\u201d Solar Systems<\/h2>\n

Interest in battery-ready systems was around 5% in December (6% in November). Home energy storage can be added to just about any solar installation at a later date, but indicating batteries may be wanted down the track can help with system design.<\/p>\n

\"Battery<\/p>\n

Concurrent Solar Power + Battery Install<\/h2>\n

Not much changed in the level of interest in having a battery installed concurrently with a PV system in December – just over 13% compared to just under 13% in November, October and September. For Australians considering installing a battery but still tussling with trying to figure out if energy storage is worth it, SQ’s solar and battery calculator<\/a> is a really useful and easy to use tool. It will show you how savings are impacted by a battery system and solar panels separately.<\/p>\n

\"Solar<\/p>\n

Battery System Capacity<\/h2>\n

Where a battery capacity preference was noted in a request for a quote on solar + storage:<\/p>\n

1 \u2013 5 kWh:\u00a0 ~14% (November ~16%, October 17%)
\n5 \u2013 10 kWh: ~51%\u00a0 (November ~54%, October 49%)
\n10 kWh +:\u00a0 ~36% (November ~31%, October 34%)<\/p>\n

Around 53% of quote requests in December where battery storage was involved were wanting advice on system sizing (November 55%, October 61%).<\/p>\n

\"Battery<\/p>\n

Intended Battery Application<\/h2>\n

Approximately 5% indicated the primary application for a battery would be for backup purposes, ~40 % for minimising mains grid electricity use and 55% for both.<\/p>\n

\"Primary<\/p>\n

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

Where electricity bills were known prior to having solar installed, 47% of Australians stated they were paying between $500 and $1,000 per quarter on average (49% in November), while around 9% were paying more than $1,000 a quarter (11% in November, 12% in October and 13% in September). 44% were paying under $500 a quarter on average (November, ~41%).<\/p>\n
