How Much Can Solar Really Save You? | Solar And Battery Or Solar Only Explained

How Does Solar Save You Money?

Savings With A Solar-Only System

  • Direct Consumption: When you use the power directly in your home, its value is equal to what you’d otherwise pay your electricity provider—let’s say $0.36 per unit.

  • Grid Export: When exported to the grid, its value depends on what your electricity retailer is willing to pay, which could be around $0.12 per unit.

Example: Bob’s 7kW Solar Setup

  • The 50% used directly in the home saves Bob around $1,500 per year.
  • The other 50% sent to the grid earns him roughly $500 per year.
