A good quality 8kW solar system costs between $7,500 and $11,200. There are cheaper systems on the market, but when it comes to solar, you’ll always get what you pay for. Purchasing a system within this price bracket ensures you’ll get the returns you need, along with a performance you can trust.

An 8kW solar system has 21 to 28 solar panels. As solar panels are generally 1.6m x 1m, you’ll need around 34 to 45 square metres of roof space.
An 8kW solar system produces on average 35 units per day.
However, as with any solar PV system, the output of an 8kW solar system varies depending on a number of factors. These include your location and climate, roof shading and the pitch and orientation of your solar panels. However, our technicians know how to get the best from the sun, and will position your solar panels to ensure your system makes the best of what’s available.
As we’ve already mentioned, quality is key. Higher quality systems perform better in high temperatures as well as over time, so investing in the best quality components you can afford is always a good idea.
How much you get back from you 8kW solar system depends on how much energy you consume, and how much you send back to the grid. However, an 8kW solar system operating at full capacity will save you around $300 to $505 per bill cycle.
Invest in a high quality system, and consume as much of the power you generate as possible, and your savings will multiply in no time.
The average payback period for an 8kW solar system is between 2.5 to 3.5 years. However, your savings start as soon as your system begins to generate power, meaning you’ll be saving – and seeing a return on your investment – from day one.
If you’ve got a large house with reverse cycle air conditioning and a pool, and your electricity budget is $500 or more per billing cycle, an 8kW solar system is a great choice.
