To maximize your return, LC Energy promotes large residential systems.
A small system will merely chip away at your energy usage (saving around 21c per kWh). A small 1-1½kW system will often help reduce your bill but will most likely be unable to eliminate it.
A large solar system provides more power than you need during daylight hours and will return excess power to the grid returning 44c/kWh or more (depending on your energy retailer). That’s nearly 2 ½ times the benefit of a small system.
Our average high quality solar system will take around 4 years to pay for itself after which all electricity generated will be free. All our panels have a 25 year performance warranty which can render at least 20 years of free electricity after the system has paid for itself.
A rule of thumb for Queensland users:
For every kW of solar panel installed you’ll generate an average 4.5kWh of power per day. We can review your recent bills and confirm your daily power usage and help you work out what size system suits your budget and maximizes the return.
What do you need? An un-shaded roof facing North is a good start – but if you face West or East we will still be able to show you good energy gains.
What we provide:
We can check your roof area using one of the many internet sites that have photographed your building from above and provide a concept drawing to you.
LC Energy handles all the installation requirements including Renewable Energy Certificates.
We can provide you with a draft proposal very quickly and can then visit you on site to confirm our proposal and consider the investment in more detail.
