The output of a 30kw solar system:

Below is an average estimate of how much energy a 30kW solar system will produce per day (over a year) in Australia's capital cities, considering the system's geographic location, daily average sunlight and cloud cover, and panel orientation.

Solar power systems with a capacity of 30 kW are typically used by small to mid-size enterprises with medium energy demands. The 30 kW solar system generates approximately 120-140 units per day, making it ideal for small businesses or large homes with a daily electricity demand of around 150 units. If you're a commercial customer who uses between 119.1 and 181.1 kWh per month, a 30kW solar system could help you save money on your energy bills.

Determining the cost of a 30 kW solar system

Size of a 30 kW solar system

This, too, greatly depends on the type of panels you use. Here are some possibilities of panel sizes that business owners could use to build a 30kW system:

Due to falling technological costs and the STC government incentive scheme for systems under 100kW in output capacity, the price of small-scale commercial solar systems has dropped considerably in Australia during the last few years.

A 30kW solar system will undoubtedly cost differently depending on the solar company from which you purchase it. A 30 kW solar system price would vary state by state.

30kW solar system financial returns

A 30 kW solar system generates up to an estimated 150 units per day. A high-quality 30 kW system will repay on investment within 3 to 6 years if you continue to create and use the electricity as needed. Thus, this system is best suited for businesses with a medium energy usage, who receive annual bills of around $15,000.
