How much solar energy can be generated and what are the typical savings on an electricity bill?

February 7, 2024
The solar panels on your roof only generate power when there is sunlight. The greatest output happens during the sunniest part of the day and produces more energy in summer than in winter. In Canberra to maximise the amount of energy your panels generate each year, panels should be installed north-facing and tilted at 30 degrees to the horizon – most homes in Canberra have a typical 30-degree roof pitch. Here is an overview of how much annual generation you can expect to get based on different panel orientations and tilt (expressed as a percentage of the maximum possible).

"I can't express too enthusiastically the incredible service we received from Econ. We had an old gas cooker and hot water tank removed, to be replaced by an induction cooktop and heat pump water tank. We couldn't be happier with the final result! ALL the staff were absolutely amazing, courteous and were very patient with our endless questions! Phone calls were always answered promptly. The workers arrived bang on time and were incredibly professional. One of the plumbers, Liam from KMAC Projects, willingly came over after hours to quickly fix a small issue we had with the heat pump. It was a long day's work in hot weather, working on an old 1980's building. Thank you to everyone. I'd give Econ 10 stars if I could."
