The number of solar panels you'll need depends on a few factors:

1. Energy Consumption: Calculate your average energy usage in kilowatt-hours (kWh) per month. You can find this on your electricity bill.

2. Panel Output: Most solar panels produce between 400 to 440 watts each. On average, a 440-watt panel might generate about 1.7 kWh per day in Australia, depending on sunlight hours and location.

3. Location: The amount of sunlight your area receives plays a significant role. Areas with more sun will need fewer panels to meet your energy needs.

4. System Efficiency: Consider the efficiency of the inverter and other system losses, typically around 20%.

The golden age of solar, marked by 60c gross feed-in tariffs, has come to an end. However, this doesn’t mean that solar panels can’t substantially lower your power bills. Rather than being a guaranteed money-maker, having a solar system on your roof is now more about smart savings.

Recent rises in energy prices and feed-in tariffs have made solar a worthwhile investment in most states, even under the most challenging circumstances
