10 Kw Solar System

Claudia Said:

how much electricity should my solar panels produce?

We Answered:

Australian prices seem to be in the $0.20/kWhr range. Assuming this, you are getting about 50 kWhr per month out of your solar system. Unless you are in very cloudy are, this is less than 1/3 the power you should be getting. Something's wrong and needs fixing.
A guess at your financing gives an 8 year loan on $10,000. This 8-year payoff is about 1/4 the life of a solar system, so you need about $20/month of electricity for the system to break even. If you get your system working properly, it makes very good financial sense.
