Frequently Asked Questions

 What size solar system do I need for my home?

The size of your solar system should be based on your household’s energy consumption. The key is to match your system’s output to your specific needs and energy use patterns. The most common system sizes for Melbourne family homes range from 5kW and up to 15kW. Many households are sold a package size of 6.6kW which covers most homes average needs (the average Australian household uses approx. 18-20kW per day).

At TCK Solar, our design team is ready to assist you in this process of determining the exact number of panels you need, and therefore what system size is most suitable for you. We will consider your power bill, personally discuss with you your energy requirements and customise a solar system design that aligns with your consumption patterns, motivations and future needs. An ideal starting point for this assessment is your power bill. By reviewing your monthly or quarterly electricity usage, one of our system design engineers can help assess how much energy you consume and identify the size of the system that will effectively cover your needs and / or future aspirations.

This tailored and personalised approach ensures that you invest in a solar system that meets your household’s demands, maximises your energy savings, considers your future needs, and reduces your reliance on buying power from the electricity grid.
