How much solar power should my new system produce?

This week’s blog post is inspired by a recent callout I received, and a part of solar world that’s sometimes not known or understood. I received a called from Jason. He’d had recently had a new 6.6kW solar system installed at his property and was worried that his system wasn’t performing as expected. Luckily, we were able to pick up on the reason why before attending the callout 😉 I ran through the numbers with Jason over the phone. His solar system is East/West facing without any shading issues and comprises of 6.6kW worth of panels, yet his system is only peaking at a little under...

Solar Panel Direction, Pitch and Shading Explained

There’re a number of different factors, including solar panel direction that can have an effect on the energy production.

Not all solar installs are the same. There’re a number of different factors that can have an effect on energy production. Solar Panel direction and pitch play a major part in the efficiency of your system, as well as shading. How will panel direction affect my energy yield? The solar panel direction play a part in the overall energy yield of your solar system. The different solar panel direction types are: North Facing Panels At their best in the middle of the day, and will produce the greatest energy all yield year-round. East Facing Panels At their best in the mornings, and produce...

Scott, Travis and their team install our new solar system. From our first meeting, their knowledge, service and professionalism was outstanding. We have never received quotes so quickly from traded before and they were willing to help us get the best outcome for our property. Nothing seemed too hard and they were lovely to work with. I would highly recommend Dillion & Kenzie to anyone.

Scott completed our solar install in September 2020 and I thought I'd wait a few months before writing a review. The installation process with Scott was as smooth as you'd expect from an A+ level installer with good communication and prompt delivery & installation of the system. Scott's a great guy and even tidied up a few other electrical-related bits he came across during the installation. A few months later we're stoked with the performance of our system. We're easily covering our usage during the day and exporting the bulk of our production - leading to a credit on the past 2 bills we've received. We're on track to have our system paid off within 4 years, which is almost bang on with the estimate Scott had provided. Once the price of batteries comes down a little further and they make better financial sense, we'll be reaching out to Scott again to work through the details of having one installed. We're still very happy with the quality of the install and the products Scott & the team used on our build and Dillon & Kenzie will be at the top of the list for any future electrical outlays we have.

Scott was our main point of contact and we have nothing but high praise for his honesty and workmanship. We were newbies to the world of Solar and he walked alongside us throughout the whole process ... from quoting to installation ... from handover to explaining how apps can help track the production of energy. We highly recommend their service.

Scott attended our home and installed our new Sungrow 5KW system and 18 solar panels . Scott's service has been prompt, professional and left all areas clean and tidy. Scott took his time to answer all our questions on site and afterwards as we familiarised ourselves with the iSolar Cloud app. Due to Scott's professional service we have now requested further works at our home to install wiring for a pool heat pump and new indoor and outdoir light fittings. Overall extremely happy with Scott's service and the quality of work. Thanks Dillon and Kenzie Electrical.

Trav and Scott installed a 10kW 3 phase solar system at our place in Camp Hill about a year ago and it hasn’t skipped a beat. The install was no fuss and looks great. Their solar knowledge and professionalism set Trav and Scott apart from the other companies we received quotes from. More than happy to recommend Dillon & Kenzie Electrical.

Solar Panel Installation Scott provided us with a quote promptly and recommended the system that would be suitable for our roof space and aspect. We chose an 8kW system with the Hyundai panels and the Sungrow inverter. The installation followed promptly and completed within the week with the site left tidy, the app downloaded the system booked in with Energex to complete the process. Would happily recommend Scott, Josh and Dan for your solar installation.
