IS THE 20KW THE RIGHT SOLAR SYSTEM FOR YOU?
To decide if this is the right system size for you; we firstly need to find out what your average daily consumption of electricity is. This information is readily available on your latest quarterly power bill. If your average daily consumption falls between 60 to 80kWh (see below 20KW SYSTEM OUTPUT IN MAJOR CITIES Table); the 20kW system would be a good fit. As in the 20kW Solar system would on average generate a similar amount of energy respective to what you are using daily and also allow you to comfortably increase your daily consumption if needed.
To ensure you are able to maximise the return from the solar power system it is recommended that you audit your current electricity usage habits. Once you have identified activities that consume a significant amount of power (such as washing machine, dishwasher, dryer etc) action a plan that will ensure these appliances and activities are only being conducted when the sun is out. (Note: try not to have heavy appliances all running at the same time; spread out the timing to ensure the Solar system is able to meet your power needs)
