Ballpark for that one setup. Run the actual check and I'll work out your real numbers.
Four real households, run through the same calculator this site uses for an individual report. Panels only, no battery, clean roof, someone home some of the time. Prices are after every rebate that applies in Queensland.
| Household uses | Their quarterly bill | System | After rebates | Saves a year | Pays for itself |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 10 kWh | $355 | 5–6.6kW solar | $5,270 to $7,300 | $340–$510 | 10+ years |
| 15 kWh | $482 | 6.6kW solar | $6,050 to $8,050 | $480–$720 | 10+ years |
| 22 kWh | $661 | 10–13kW solar | $7,800 to $12,800 | $730–$1,090 | 8–10+ years |
| 30 kWh | $865 | 10–13kW solar | $7,800 to $12,800 | $940–$1,420 | 7–10 years |
The bill column is what that household actually pays in Queensland at 28c a unit, which is why the same house has a different bill in every state. Savings depend on how much of the generation gets used on site rather than exported, and at 1c a unit for exports that is the number that decides the answer. A household out all day saves less than the figures above; one home most days saves more. Every figure is produced by the calculator, not written down, so it moves when the published rates move.
Every figure in these comes from the same calculator, using Queensland rates and rebates.
