Solar Energy Sunshine Coast: When Will I Start Saving Money?
With hiking energy costs comes a demand for ways to combat them. For the average household or commercial enterprise, the best way to do so is by installing solar panels. The question, “Can solar panels save me money?” has now been replaced with “How soon can solar panels start saving me money?”. Logic Solar is one of the premier solar companies Sunshine Coast residents know and trust, and we are here to answer this important question.
Solar Panels Sunshine Coast
As the name implies and residents will know, the Sunshine Coast sees its fair share of sun. The good news is there for everyone to see where solar power is concerned. Further afield, Australia has the highest solar radiation per square metre of any of Earth’s continents. As a result, we enjoy some of the best solar energy resources in the world.
Most homes are single phase power, and although there are some single phase properties with solar panel systems of up to 13kW (kilowatts), most households operate a system of 6.6 kilowatts or less. A 5-kilowatt system will generate about 20 kilowatts of energy per day on average. This generally meets the average Australian household’s needs of between 16 and 20 kilowatts per day. Assuming you pay your electricity company the average tariff of between 26 and 30 cents per kilowatt, you can expect to save between $5 and $10 per day by using solar panels.

What comes next in determining how soon you can start saving money by installing solar panels is the start-up cost. At Logic Solar, we do not sell lower entry-level products. While cheap, these won’t last as long and certainly won’t come with the warranty of the products our experienced installers prefer. Additionally, they will likely not be as efficient, meaning you don’t save as much off your power bill as you could and need to replace them sooner. This results in fewer savings and defeats the purpose and cost of installation, not to mention cause you unneeded stress when they don’t work.
As we are dealing with high voltage appliances - it is a smart decision to go with safe, trusted and reliable brands that gives you peace of mind for both you, your family and your most valuable asset - your home!
We custom design our solar systems to meet the evolving needs of your family or business - we do not have a “one size fits all” approach, or have hidden costs that come up during the installation. Our Site Visits before we quote ensure we have all of the relevant information before we provide you with a quote.
If you are building a new home, we request Building Plans so that we can design the system around the DA approved specifications of your new Build.

There are variables such as the tariff imposed by your current energy provider and your specific daily needs but generally, a household solar panel system can pay for itself in three to five years. Considering the minimum panel warranty we offer is 25 years, that is a solid return on your investment.

We can then provide you with a solution that will have you saving money as soon as possible.
