Solar Panels Henley Pricing Information

According to our research, the average price for a 6.6kW solar system in Henley is $4,000.

For a well performing solar system in Henley, we estimate that the electricity generated will be approximately 22 kWh/day.

If 50% of the 22kWh is consumed in the home, and the remainder exported into the electricity grid, we estimate that the annual saving on a typical power bill is $1,843 per year.

This represents a simple payback time of 2.2 years which is a fantastic return on investment.

Solar Finance in Henley

We estimate that when financing a $4,000 solar system in Henley over 5 years, that the cost of finance in year 1 will be around $973.

This is based on an interest rate of 8% calculated monthly and without taking into account any possible extra charges like establishment fees or admin fees. Of course you need to check these numbers with a professional financial advisor.

Even still this means you may be able to install solar for zero deposit AND it is still cash flow positive. What we mean by “cash flow positive”, is that the amount saved by the solar system installation over one year is greater than the cost of financing that same solar system.

 

Government Solar Rebate in Henley

Solar systems installed in Henley on residential and commercial buildings are likely to be eligible for a Government rebate under the Federal Government’s Small Technology Certificate (STC) scheme.

The STC rebate is determined by your location in Australia and the size of the solar system that is being installed.

So if you install a 10kW solar system in Henley, you are categorised in Zone 3 and likely to be eligible for a $4,588 rebate.

The advertised price and the amount you pay or finance is generally after the STC rebate has been removed from the gross price of the solar system.

The price of the STC does fluctuate so best to keep that in mind too.

Naturally conditions apply to obtaining an STC rebate so it is best to talk to a solar professional.

 

Optimal Solar Panel Placement in Henley

In Henley, it is best to face your solar panels north at an angle of 34deg. Having said that, the majority of Australian roofs don’t generally have the perfect roof for panel placement so don’t be too stressed if your roof is not optimally orientated with the correct roof pitch.
