It’s a million dollar question with no right or wrong answer. It really depends on what exactly your trying to achieve. Below are a few questions you should ask yourself before making a decision:
It’s a million dollar question with no right or wrong answer. It really depends on what exactly your trying to achieve. Below are a few questions you should ask yourself before making a decision:
How much optimal roof space do you have- What size system have you been approved to install by your energy retailer?
- Does the size of your desired system comply with the state government feed-in tariff criteria?
- How deep are your pockets? (The cost to go solar)
- And finally, would you like to reduce your power bill? Wipe out your power bill completely? Or get a generous cheque in the mail each year?
Keep in mind, the panel sizes vary in wattage. You can get panels which produce 170 Watts or you can get panels which produce 250 Watts plus. So keep an eye on the total system wattage, not the amount of panels.
The size of the system depends on the total wattage produced from the panels, not the size of the inverter. And its pretty common these days to have a bigger inverter so that you can add panels down the track. So don’t be fooled by the size of the inverter.
