What Does Solar Power Cost?

Grid connected solar power costs

Choose the quatity and size of solar panels required.
Use the table on the right to select a grid inverter large enough for the solar output.
Solar panels are best positioned tilted north in the southern hemisphere
and tilted south in the northern hemisphere.
The pitch angle should match you latitude.
The ideal aspect and pitch is not always possible.
The solar mounts assume the solar panels are directly bolted to the roof.
DC power cables are needed between the solar panels and to the grid inverter.
AC power cables are needed from the grid inverter to the power distribution box.

Remote connected solar power costs

Choose the quatity and size of solar panels required.
Select a voltage level for the solar panels wiring, regulator, inverter and batteries.
Pick a regulator with sufficient current capacity for the solar panel output.
Battery size will be dependant on expected power input, power output and budget.
