Once the crown jewel of residential solar setups, the humble 3kW solar system has seen its popularity wane in recent years. With the plummeting cost of solar panels and the rising energy demands of Australian homes, many people are now going for larger systems, typically 6.6kW or even 10kW. But does that mean 3kW solar is no longer relevant?.
As the solar energy landscape evolves, the role and relevance of 2kW solar power systems have shifted. Once a standard choice for an average Australian home, these systems are now more commonly used for specific smaller-scale applications.
A 10kW solar power system is an extensive capacity system for most Australian homes. Installation of such a system requires a significant area of roof space to accommodate the solar panels and entails substantial savings in electricity bills. Therefore, if you have a spacious roof area and want to reduce your electricity expenses, a 10kW solar power system might be the optimal solution for you.
In Australia between roughly 2010 and mid-2013 1.5kW solar power systems were prevalent, these days the 3.5kW system has become more frequently installed.
