Are solar panels worth considering for a home in Canberra?

A Life Is New Team Answered by

Solar panels can suit many Canberra homes, but the likely savings depend on your roof’s orientation, shading, household electricity use and the system size. Canberra’s sunny conditions can support good generation, although winter output is generally lower and batteries may not suit every household. Compare quotes from accredited installers and check the expected payback, feed-in tariff, inverter warranty and any ongoing costs. The installer should assess your roof and provide a proposal based on your property rather than relying on advertised savings.
