Solar & Battery Analysis
Solar PV & Battery Reports
A solar PV system is a significant financial investment that should provide 20 – 25 years of renewable energy generation for your home or business.
A solar PV and battery report will give you a clear understanding of the solar PV system you should be seeking from a solar retailer and whether a battery is financially viable.
The report will recommend; the solar array size you should install (and can fit on your roof), switchboard requirements, recommended panel layout, shade analysis, inverter choice, the solar components (panels and inverter) required from a retailer, rebates available, and an anticipate price costing for quality components and installation. The solar report will also outline financial savings and payback periods.
Independent solar reports for households and businesses include the following:
- Solar export approval - Pre-approval with your electricity distributor to determine if a solar system on your home / business will be permitted to export excess electricity back to the grid and receive a feed in tariff.
- Switchboard – Determination of switchboard capacity to install solar and or battery, and whether the switchboard requires upgrading.
- Solar PV array size – Determination of the size of solar array dependent upon smart meter electricity consumption and roof space.
- Solar roof layout – Satellite image showing where panels should be located to maximise energy generation and minimise shading.
- Inverter – Analysis and recommendation on inverter type (string inverter or micro inverters). Recommendations of quality and budget inverters.
- Panels – Recommendations of solar panel brands.
- Panel shade – Recommendations of number of panels requiring DC optimisers to reduce the impact of shade.
- Savings – Calculation of annual saving on electricity invoices.
- Return on investment – Calculation of return on investment via payback period.
- Battery – recommended brands, size, annual savings and return on investment
