Can Solar Panels Really Power a House?

With correct configuration: yes, absolutely. But ordinary solar systems installed in Australian homes may not. Don’t worry, though; this doesn’t mean you will spend thousands of dollars on energy bills. Our solar team looks at how many solar panels will actually supply power in Brisbane next.

Power from sunrise to sunset

Every solar panel you install sleeps at night like you. They checked in at dawn and closed when the sun went down. Therefore, they only have a certain number of hours to generate electricity. During the day, the energy produced by your solar panels:

  • will power your home
  • will be powered by the local grid
  • it will be stored in your solar cells.

You will use solar power stored in solar cells or grid power purchased from an energy supplier (or both) at night. If you don’t have solar batteries, Brisbane’s solar can still pay for your electricity bills.

 Although it is not technically possible to provide 24/7 power to your home, solar panels (without batteries) can power your home during the day and deliver excess power to the local grid. This will sell the energy you don’t use to get a discount on the energy you buy at night. In most cases, this will greatly reduce energy costs. In fact, some solar homeowners pay almost nothing every month.

The average usage of energy and solar energy

On average, Oz’s households use 20 to 50 kilowatt-hours per day. The amount actually depends on the size of your family and your lifestyle. For young families, a 5 kW or 6.6 kW family can meet your energy needs (although the output may be different in summer and winter). On the other hand, larger houses may require systems up to 13 kW.

Solar Battery Upgrade

If you are looking for 24-hour solar power generation, you will need a battery to store electricity. This means that it will not export most of the electricity it produces but store it for later use. After installing proper solar cells, your house can be completely (or almost) independent of energy.
