Residential solar installation Wodonga

Energy Goals: Reduce electricity bills and carbon footprint

Location: West Wodonga, Victoria

Property Type: Single-family home with complex roof structure

Challenges

1. Complex roof layout with multiple sections and orientations
2. Balancing aesthetics with optimal panel placement
3. Integrating the system with existing home features (pool pump, etc.)

System Design

• Custom-designed 10kW solar system
• 28 high-efficiency 370W panels strategically placed across different roof sections
• Microinverters to optimize performance of each panel independently
• Smart energy monitoring system for real-time performance tracking

Installation Process

1. Conducted detailed site assessment and 3D roof modeling
2. Created a panel layout that maximized energy production while maintaining visual appeal
3. Used black-framed panels to blend with the roof aesthetics
4. Installed panels across multiple roof sections to capture sunlight throughout the day
5. Integrated the system with the home’s existing electrical infrastructure and pool equipment

Project Management

• Completed installation within 2 days with minimal disruption to the family’s routine
• Coordinated all necessary permits and grid connection approvals
• Provided comprehensive system training to the homeowners

Results

1. Estimated annual energy production: 14,000 kWh
2. Projected first-year savings on electricity bills: $2,800
3. Expected system payback period: 4-5 years
4. Reduction in carbon footprint: Approximately 11.2 tonnes of CO2 per year
