Solar panels powering your Australian home

The number of solar panels required to power an Australian home depends on the house size and energy usage, however in this piece we will explore some averages to give our clients an insight into potential solar panel costs.

For a standard two-bedroom home the average yearly energy usage is approximately 3,800kWh, meaning a 3kW-4kW system size would be needed.

Assuming each solar panel is 440W, then between 7-9 panels would be required.

For a standard three-bedroom home, yearly energy usage sits at roughly 4,900kWh, meaning a 4kW-6kW system size would suffice.

With 440W panels, 10-14 solar panels would be needed.

A standard four-bedroom home uses around 7,000kWh of energy annually, which would require a 6kW-8kW system.

For a house of this size, 14-18 440W solar panels would be the estimated number required.

These numbers are rough averages and each house can vary depending on energy usage patterns, shade presence, roof size, type of solar panels used etc.
