A 10kW solar system is considered relatively big 👊 for homes, as most residential installations are typically between 5kW and 6.6kW. These smaller systems are more commonly 🙌 used for households with average electricity needs. However, a 10kW system is more suitable for homes or businesses that consume a significant amount of electricity during the day, particularly if their daily usage exceeds 40kWh. In this article, we’ll share real time quotations💲 and details on the components that we offer for a 10kW solar PV system in Victoria.

10kW solar PV system in Victoria
In addition to providing the cost of a 10kW solar PV system, we will also share important technical and fundamental details or instructions ℹ️ that you should be aware of prior to installing such a large system.
How many solar panels are required for a 10kW solar PV system?
For this particular system, we recommend 23 440W N-Type solar panels. But why this question is important and why we keep discussing it?
This question is important because the number of solar panels directly impacts the overall cost, space requirements, and efficiency of the system. By discussing the number of panels required, we can help you understand the practical aspects of installing a 10kW solar PV system, such as the physical space needed for installation and the factors influencing the system’s energy production. It also allows us to provide guidance on selecting the appropriate panel configuration to meet energy needs effectively.
What roof area is required for a 10kW PV system?
As an estimate, a 10kW PV system typically requires around 60-80 square meters (645-860 square feet) of roof space. Please keep in mind 🤯 these factors during the system installation.

10kW solar system performance
Let’s examine the daily electricity generation in kilowatt-hours (kWh) and estimated consumption. With a 10kW solar PV system, you can see that there is a significant surplus of electricity that can be sold back to the grid 😀.
Please note that the system performance depends on multiple factors and can vary in different situations. For example, a solar panel irrespective of its manufacturer will never perform as what is its rated power or what power is mentioned on it. Take a look at Trinasolar performance under standard and normal conditions.
Cumulative electricity bill saving
Your projected energy cost is calculated by considering a 3.0% increase in energy cost each year, reflecting the ongoing trend of rising energy prices. This estimate is based on your selected preferences, current ⚡energy costs, and the position and orientation of your roof to calculate the efficiency of the system. Projections are made based on an estimated annual usage of 7,300 kWh, assuming a Residential Assure Anytime (Powercor D1) Electricity Tariff.
