\"SolarQuotes<\/p>\n

Find out what Australians were wanting in solar and battery systems when requesting quotes during February in SQ’s March auSSII report.<\/p>\n

Solar Systems – Size Selection<\/h2>\n

From capacity options of 3-5 kW, 5-10 kW, 10-15 kW, 15-20 kW, 20+ kW and \u201cFill Roof\u201d; where selected, 78% of Australians using the SolarQuotes quoting service<\/a> chose the 5 to 10kW range option in February, down a little on January and December. Again in February, close to 12% selected the \u201cFill Roof\u201d option.<\/p>\n

\"Solar<\/p>\n

SolarQuotes’ founder Finn’s advice on system sizing has changed over the years – get his updated advice on how much solar power you’ll need<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Intended Purchasing Timeframe<\/h2>\n

While there were plenty of potential buyers wanting a system installation as soon as possible, eagerness for an immediate installation dropped again from 24% in January to 22% in February – the lowest proportion for some time. 32% indicated they were considering a purchase within the next 28 days and 45% within 3 months.<\/p>\n

\"Solar<\/p>\n

Price And Quality Considerations<\/h2>\n

The desire for a top-shelf rooftop solar installation crept up in February with around 13% indicating they wanted a \u201ctop quality\u201d (most expensive) system (January, 13%). 80% were after a good balance of cost and quality (81% in January) and 7% in a decent budget system.<\/p>\n

General current price ranges for systems can be found on SQ’s solar panels cost page<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"System<\/p>\n

We’ve consistently seen significant interest in high-end solar gear, and with comparatively few players targeting this end of the market the news of LG exiting solar panel production<\/a> last month was a bit of a shock. LG panels were widely regarded as among the best – and this was reflected in their pricing. While ditching PV module manufacturing, LG has committed to honouring all warranties.<\/p>\n

Australian Solar Price Index<\/h2>\n

Discover how much Australians are and were previously paying on average for systems with the SolarQuotes Australian Solar Price Index<\/a>; which has some nifty tools for filtering on various aspects. Towards the end of this month, we’ll publish a special report on average system prices and costs per watt in February based on information generated by the tool.<\/p>\n

\"Australian<\/a><\/p>\n

Interest In Panel Level Optimisation Devices<\/h2>\n

Panel Level Optimisation<\/a> (PLO) options include microinverters<\/a> and optimisers; which provide benefits including panel level monitoring, enhanced system design flexibility and improved system performance under certain conditions.<\/p>\n

Close to 19% of quote requests in February indicated interest in PLO devices, up a little on January’s 18%.<\/p>\n

\"Microinverters<\/p>\n

Advanced Solar Consumption Monitoring<\/h2>\n

Finn strongly recommends optional advanced solar monitoring<\/a> with a system purchase as it can help you extract maximum value from your investment. Last month, close to 37% of requests included this option, down from January’s 39% and back in line with December’s result.<\/p>\n

\"Solar<\/p>\n

Battery Ready Solar<\/h2>\n

Not much seems to change here. Interest in battery-ready system was around 5.5% in February and it usually sits within the 5% – 6% range.<\/p>\n

\"Battery<\/p>\n

But this low figure doesn’t accurately reflect interest in home batteries as you’ll see in the next graph.<\/p>\n

Concurrent Solar Battery Install<\/h2>\n

As in December and in January, around 18% indicated interest in having a home battery<\/a> installed concurrently with their solar panels.<\/p>\n

\"Solar<\/p>\n

Home energy storage remains a significant investment in 2022, with solar battery prices<\/a> still out of reach of many – and many Australians are unsure whether a battery may be right for them. To get up to speed on batteries, check Finn\u2019s \u201c101\u201d guides on understanding<\/a>, buying<\/a> and owning<\/a> a home battery system.<\/p>\n

Primary Battery Use<\/h2>\n

6% of those interested in a battery installation were wanting it primarily backup purposes (same as January), 38% mainly for minimising mains grid electricity consumption (34% in January), and 57% for both purposes (60% in January).<\/p>\n

\"Primary<\/p>\n

Electricity Bills Before Solar<\/h2>\n

Where quarterly electricity costs were provided, 46% said they were paying between $500 and $1,000 – this proportion has been pretty consistent over at least the last year.\u00a0 A little under 11% were paying more than $1,000 a quarter.<\/p>\n
