How much does solar cost and what income will it generate as part of the Feed-In Tariff?
Solar systems can be installed on a home for about $9,000 to $12,000 per kilowatt. The range depends on the roof, the efficiency of the solar panels and the overall size of the system – larger systems are cheaper per kilowatt than smaller ones. On an unshaded south facing roof, each kilowatt of solar installed can generate between 1000 and 1300 kilowatt hours, or $800 to $1100 per annum. A ten kilowatt system, costing about $100,000 could generate as much as $12,000 per year. This equates to a Return on Investment of 10%. How long do they last? Solar electric panels like those made by Sharp Solar have a 25 year power output warranty. They commonly last many years more than that. The system will likely continue to produce electricity long after the 20 year Feed-In Tariff contract has run out. Why choose Home Energy Solutions?
