Welcome to the Solenergi blog — where we light up the truth about solar power. Today, we’re focusing on three main types of solar power users and how solar energy can work wonders for their diverse needs. Solar systems with the best return on investment match the solar output to the daytime energy requirements of the home.
The best way to get the most out of your solar system is by aligning when you use energy in your home with when your panels are producing energy during the day. This way, you use more of the power you create and have less leftover energy to sell back to the grid. Because the money you get from selling power back to the grid is now quite low, it’s best to maximise how much of your solar power you use yourself.

So what type of Solar System might each Solar user need?
As you journey towards embracing solar energy, one crucial question you’ll need to answer is: “What size of the solar system suits my needs?” The answer isn’t a one-size-fits-all but tailored to your unique lifestyle and energy consumption patterns. Ranging from singles or couples in their silver years with smaller energy requirements, through to work-from-home professionals juggling power demands, all the way to large families with significant energy consumption, let’s explore what type and size of solar system each solar user might need.
The Careful Retirees Solar System
Adding to the benefits for careful retirees, a compact but robust 3kW solar power system (comprising approximately nine 330W panels) could be an ideal solution for your needs. In today’s times, it’s one of the smallest systems you can comfortably buy, but don’t let the size fool you.
This energy-smart choice can offset around three-quarters of the electricity usage in an average Australian home. This could equate to substantial savings and significantly reduced bills. Of course, every home consumes power differently, and we at Solenergi are here to guide you to the best fit for your specific requirements.
A Solar System for the Work-From-Home Professionals
Let’s turn the spotlight onto our homebound professionals now. If your aim is to completely wipe out your electricity bill, set your sights on a system with at least 6.6kW. You might ask: why this specific number?
Essentially, a 6.6kW solar system offers an excellent return on investment, giving you more power, literally and financially, for your dollars spent. If you are getting a fair feed-in tariff (about 8 cents a kilowatt-hour or more), a system of this size might be the perfect fit
Granted, there might be some limitations, like the available rooftop space or installation guidelines that allow only up to a 133% oversize of panel capacity in relation to the inverter capacity. In simple terms, you multiply 5kW by 133%, and voila – you get around 6.65kW.
While you may not find a system that fits squarely into this range, aim as close as possible to it— but remember, not exceeding it even by a watt ensures you stay within approved limits of capacity oversizing.
This strategy seems quite a lot to digest, doesn’t it? Well, no need to feel overwhelmed. Just pick up your phone and contact our Solenergi team. We’re ready and eager to assist you in ironing out the specifics whilst ensuring you net the best possible return on your investment.

A Solar System big enough for the Energy-Intensive Big Families
Let’s march onto our large family users now. For those of you with higher energy demands and a desire to maximise your green energy output, we suggest looking into the next size up in the solar sphere — a 10kW solar system.
Think about it: a formidable array of 24 415W solar panels, orchestrating an impressive symphony of renewable and cost-effective electricity! This system is popular amongst larger households that don’t just want to dip their toes in the solar power pool, but dive right in!
Having a larger roof space and a hefty electricity bill could point you in this direction. Or perhaps you’ve made, or are considering, greener choices like owning an electric car. Remember, the solar panels available today for 10kW systems are significantly more efficient than their predecessors, packing more power into smaller spaces. So, you’re not going to need as much rooftop real estate as you might think.
The final decision always depends on your specific conditions and requirements, both present and future. And that’s where we at Solenergi come in. We’d be delighted to have a conversation with you and guide you towards a solar system that aligns perfectly with your lifestyle – providing ample green energy and significantly reducing your electricity bills.
