10kW Solar System: Cost, Panels, Daily Production, and Payback Duration in New South Wales
A 10kw Solar System is likely to be the biggest for residential systems. But it is also the common name among many residential and commercial solar users in Sydney. The 10kw solar system can absorb 37kw power/per day on average with 23 panels of 450 watts each.
Why one should go for a 10kw Solar System?
There are certain reasons to go for a 10kw Solar System, the reasons are:
- When the electricity demand is higher during winter and who uses more than 35kW electricity per day, this system is one of the best options.
- If someone has a plan to add the battery.
- When you have plans to get an electric vehicle .
Size Limits for Solar in Sydney:
In Sydney, a Single phase connection is allowed to have a solar system sized up to 6.5kw And a three-phase connection is allowed to install a solar system sized up to 30kw.
Most businesses have a three-phase connection, but in terms of houses, a single-phase connection is common in Sydney. But many houses have a three-phase connection. So a 10kw system is allowed for those houses. They could easily go for a 10kw solar system if their electricity demand is high
Is the 10kw System the best option?
Average consumption of electricity per day is the most important fact to be analyzed for knowing whether the 10kw system is right for you or not. If your daily power consumption is between 32kwh to 40kwh then you must go with the 10kw system because this is said to be the ideal size of a solar system for houses and business that uses 40kwh electricity daily during daylight. A 10kW system would generate a similar amount of electricity daily and also would allow you to increase your daily consumption of electricity if needed.
This system is also recommended to ensure the maximum return from your solar system.
But for a note: all the heavy appliances should not be run at a time, and the run time should be divided so that the solar system can ensure the supply of power to meet the requirement.
Though 5kw and 6.6kw systems are common in Sydney and 10kw system is also large. This is the perfect choice for houses that use large amounts of electricity daily and also for the business with consumption of electricity on average of 40kwh per day. So, the bigger the better.
How much does a 10kW solar panel system cost in Sydney?

How Much energy can be generated by this system?
The amount of energy generation by a 10kw Solar system depends on:
- Location of the House
- Position of the Panels
- Local climate
- Sunlight peak hour
- Angel of the panels.
- Position of the system
- Shade casting
- Quality of the panels
- Individual performance of battery, inverter, and panels.
Depending on the above factors a 10kw Solar System produces 35-40kw energy per day in Sydney.
Savings or Benefits from a 10 KW Solar system:
There are several types of savings or benefits that can be obtained from a 10kw solar system: :
- Self-Consuming: This is the primary benefit of having a 10kw Solar System. Use as much energy as needed from the generated power by the 10kw solar system directly and reduce your electricity bill up to 80% per quarter.
- Feed-in tariff: This can be said the Secondary benefit of having a 10kw Solar system on the roof. After self-consumption, the excess power will go to the electric grid. Though the feed-in tariff price is lower than the price we pay for direct electricity. In Sydney, the Feed-in tariff price is 20 cents per kilowatt-hour. So with the above factors if we consider the below scenario, then the payback would be as such
- In the 1st scenario: If you use all the power generated by your 10 kW solar system, then you would likely save approximately $5000 in the first year.
- In the 2nd scenario: If you use 50% of the electricity and feed-in tariff the rest, then you would save approximately $2500 in the first year.
- In the 3rd scenario: If you feed all the energy generated by your 10kw solar system into the tariff, you will save about $1200 in the first year.
So, you should use more solar power to save more money or get more benefits from your 10kw solar system.
The payback time of the 10kw Solar System:
The payback period depends on how much power is generated by the system and the generation of power depends on the location, climate, panel size, consumption of power, inverter performance, and roof layout.
If someone uses more than 30/kWh per day, then the payback period most likely would be 6 to 7 years.
One can make more than $70000 within 25 years of system life.
If you are using all the electricity on-site then a 10kW will have paid for itself in under i5 years, assuming you pay 30c for your electricity from the grid and electricity prices rise at 5% per year. After that the electricity is free apart from a small maintenance cost (expect to pay $500-$700 every 5 years) and a replacement inverter every 15-20 years.
