TAREE
Solar in Taree
Taree is a solar powerhouse! With over 8,200 small-scale solar systems installed, residents in the 2430 postcode area have built up a potential solar power generation capacity of more than 52,500 kilowatts each day.
Apex Solar is proud to be part of Taree’s solar success story. By harnessing the abundant sunshine, local homeowners are not only reducing their electricity bills but also contributing significantly to less air pollution.
Imagine this: Taree’s solar systems, if we assume a consumption of 20 kWh per day per household on average collectively produce enough clean energy to power more than 2,600 residences daily.
That’s a massive amount of renewable electricity flowing into the grid! At current electricity rates, this equates to over $6.5 million worth of energy generated annually by the Taree PV system community.
But the benefits don’t stop there. These solar systems are also environmental champions, preventing an estimated 50,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide emissions each year.
The amount of solar power produced will depend on the size of the solar PV system.
| Solar System Size | 5kW | 6.6kW | 10kW | 13kW |
| Total Annual Output | 7,509 kW/h | 9,915 kW/h | 15,024 kW/h | 19,528 kW/h |
| Average Monthly Output | 626 kW/h | 826 kW/h | 1,252 kW/h | 1,627 kW/h |
| Average Daily Output | 21 kW/h | 27 kW/h | 41 kW/h | 54 kW/h |
| Potential Annual Savings | $2,103 | $2,776 | $4,207 | $5,468 |
| Potential Monthly Savings | $175 | $231 | $351 | $456 |
| Potential Daily Savings | $6 | $8 | $12 | $15 |
*This calculation assumes a complete consumption of solar generation, which is not always possible. Fits will reduce this savings amount to as little as 50% of the quoted amount – which nevertheless is still a significant amount. These savings vary and depend on the amount of self-consumption vs export.
Site Inspections
Don’t underestimate the importance of a physical site inspection. It’s the cornerstone of a successful solar installation. While satellite imagery can provide a general overview, it’s no substitute for a thorough on-site assessment.
Apex Solar believes in the power of a personal touch. Our expert team will visit your property to evaluate key factors that can impact your solar system’s performance and cost.
- Switchboard Assessment: We’ll inspect your meter board to determine if it’s compatible with your new solar system. If upgrades are needed, we’ll provide upfront pricing.
- Optimal Panel Placement: By examining your roof, we’ll identify the best locations for solar panels to increase energy production.
- Cable Routing and Inverter Positioning: We’ll determine the most efficient path for cables and identify suitable spots for your inverter or battery.
- Unforeseen Challenges: A site visit helps us uncover potential obstacles, such as roof condition or shading issues, ensuring a smooth installation process.
Beware of installers who skip this essential step. A thorough site inspection protects you from unexpected costs and delays. At Apex Solar, we prioritise transparency and customer satisfaction, and a site visit is a fundamental part of our process.
