Diane Solar Installation


Diane and Laurence - Thrumster, Port Macquarie 6.6 kW Solar Installation to lower bill costs and off-set air conditining:

Diane and Laurence traditionally have a low electricity bill but they are concerned about rising energy costs. Diane recently had a 7 kW air conditioning unit installed and also purchased a clothes dryer.  Planning ahead for their increased power usage and rising energy costs, Laurence got a quote from MNC Solar Power and the couple moved forward with a 6 kW system.

Laurence said

“We generally we have a relatively low electricity bill $360 a quarter. But electricity costs are going up so fast that, you know, somebody once said that if you don't put solar on, you just paying for somebody else's solar with the cost of electricity bill”..

From their own calculations on their normal electricity usage (aside from the addition of the the air conditioner and the dryer), Laurence and Diane decided if they could drop our electricity bill by 50 60%, they would class that as a really good win.

But of course there are more benefits to their new solar installation. With the hot summer ahead, Diane and Laurence can make use of their new air conditioning unit to keep their home cool and comfortable and during the day, it will be off-set by the solar energy they are producing.

Laurence said

“When the summer comes on and we use the air conditioner. If our bills are not going past $300 -  $500 that is a win as well!”

From our calculations based on Diana and Laurences’ existing bill, we estimate that their bill of around $360 will drop to around $30 - $40 and with the extra power use of their air conditioning, they will be well within the cost / benefit / savings threshold where the solar will be worthwhile.
