    8kW Solar System

    A 10kW solar system is a solid option for medium to large Aussie homes or even small businesses. It generally includes 24 to 26 panels, needing around 40–50 square metres of roof space. On average, you can expect about 35 to 44kWh of power per day, depending on your location and how much sun you get. This system suits homes with higher energy use — like if you’ve got a home office, electric vehicle, or just a busy household using more power throughout the day.

    Many homeowners choose 10kW systems to make sure they’re covered now and down the track, without needing to upgrade again soon.

    8kwh solar system

    How much energy will an 8kW solar system produce?

    An 8kW solar system can generate around 28 to 35 kilowatt-hours (kWh) of electricity per day, depending on where you live in Australia and how much sunshine your roof gets. If you’re in sunny Queensland or Western Australia, you’ll be closer to the higher end. Down south, like in Victoria or Tasmania, the output might dip a bit—but it still packs a punch.

    On average, that’s enough power to comfortably run a medium-sized household with all the essentials—fridge, AC, washing machine, lights, TV, and more. And if you use most of your power during the day (like if someone’s always home), you’ll get even more value out of it.

    8kW system output around Australia

    CitySolar output
    Adelaide33.5 kWh
    Brisbane33.5 kWh
    Melbourne28.8 kWh
    Perth35.2 kWh
    Sydney31.2 kWh

    Just like any solar system, the exact output that you can expect will be contingent on a number of factors including:

    • Your geographical location
    • The orientation and exposure of solar panels
    • Shade or any other environmental interferences
    • Weather conditions & seasonality
    • Efficiency of solar panels
    • Temperature of panels – overheating can reduce efficiency
    • Inverter efficiency

    When it comes to how much energy you can expect an 8kW solar system to generate, the two biggest considerations will be your location and the weather. The amount of solar that your system generates will vary according to the season. As you might expect, your output in winter will typically be lower than in summer.

    The quality and efficiency of your solar panels, as well as how well your system is maintained can also play a key role in determining the overall energy output.

    Cost breakdown in Australia

    Now to the money part. Here’s a rough idea of what you’ll pay:

    • System price: starts from A$4599 (for lower-end panels and inverter)
    • Installation cost: typically A$1000–A$3000 depending on your roof type, layout, and installer
    • Premium systems (with top-tier panels + inverter): may go up to A$7,000–A$9,000

    Try to avoid the rock-bottom cheap deals – sometimes the components aren’t worth the headache later.

    Roof space needs for an 8kW solar setup

    An 8kW solar setup usually comes with 20 to 24 panels, depending on the wattage (typically 330W to 400W per panel). To fit all of that, you’ll need around 40 to 50 square metres of roof space. Flat or tiled, the type of roof doesn’t matter too much—but the direction does. North-facing roofs get the most sun, but east-west layouts can still perform well, especially if your household uses power in the morning or evening.

    Before you commit, it’s worth having an installer check that your roof’s size, angle, and shading are suitable for this system size. You don’t want to squeeze it in and compromise performance

    What to expect during installation

    First off, it’s usually a one-day job. Most quality installers will:

    1. Inspect your roof & switchboard
    2. Arrange any necessary paperwork or grid approval
    3. Turn up with a crew (often 2–4 people)
    4. Finish install and testing within 6–8 hours

    You might need to be home for a little bit, especially if access to the meter box or inside the roof is needed.

    Government rebates & STCs

    The good news? You can still claim the STC (Small-scale Technology Certificate) rebate, which knocks a few thousand off your upfront cost.

    This rebate reduces each year (phasing out by 2030), so the sooner you go solar, the better.

    Some states also offer feed-in tariffs, meaning you get paid for excess energy sent to the grid. Rates vary by provider.

    Payback period & ROI

    With current electricity prices, many households are seeing payback in 3 to 6 years. After that, it’s free energy, basically.

    Your actual return will depend on:

    • How much power you use
    • Time of use (day vs night)
    • Whether you get a battery or not
    • Your feed-in tariff rate

    A well-placed 8kW system can easily save $1,500–$2,500/year.

    Who is it best suited for?

    8kW is a great fit for:

    • Medium to larger families
    • Homeowners with electric vehicles
    • People working from home
    • Homes with high daytime usage (e.g. AC, appliances, pool pump)

    Not too big. Not too small. Just the right punch to knock down those rising power bills without going overboard
