DO YOU SPEND MORE THAN $2500 A YEAR ON YOUR POWER BILLS? YOU NEED TO READ THIS!

The higher your current electricity bill the faster your ROI (return on investment) on the installation of a hybrid solar system will be. Households averaging around $2,500 – $3,000 per year on electricity bills will be able to achieve returns closer to 7-8 years.

However households that have an average annual power bill as specified by the Australian Consumers Association for a typical four-person household, would be looking at a ROI of around 8-9 years.

The customers that fall within the “typical four-person household average usage” as per the survey being carried out in 2016 are listed below;

Average yearly bill:

SA $1901

QLD $1716

VIC $1619

NSW $1580

So your power bill falls close to this average. How do you invest in battery storage to obtain a return on your hard earned dollars? Below is how we do it at DCS. For comparison purposes we also provide the estimated returns for households that have a yearly bill of $2750.

The below modelling and yield data is derived by the NREL (National Renewable Energy Laboratory) and is geographically unique to the suburbs/towns as detailed below and it also takes 15% system losses into account;

SOUTH AUSTRALIA

Norwood, SA:

A 5kW solar power system can generate on average 7,448kWh per year.
Combined with 10kWh of usable DCS PV series battery storage will allow average savings of 88% or $1,672.88 of your current $1901 bill per year.
A fully installed price on a 5kW Hybrid system with 10kWh’s of DCS PV series storage would be $16,000 Incl. GST after any applicable rebates.
$16,000 / $1,672.88 in savings = 9 year ROI (on today’s electricity prices).
As electricity prices increase over this 10 year period the ROI will be accelerated as a significant portion of your electricity usage is hedged against the rising costs of electricity.

NOTES

The estimated returns above for each region are as accurate as possible using NREL (National Renewable Energy Laboratory) region specific weather stations and datasets, 15% system losses along with minimal shading effects.

These calculations are inline with real site data that we constantly monitor from customers addresses around the country running DCS PV series batteries.

It’s imperative that households that fall into the “typical four-person household” daily consumption window, understand that you will not achieve a ROI on lithium batteries that use the NMC cell chemistry. The only way to achieve these returns is by installing DCS PV series batteries using our proprietary LFP cell chemistry. Which has at least double the lifespan of battery packs running NMC lithium cells.

It still does make economic sense to install a quality DCS hybrid system even for the households that fall within the “typical four-person household” daily consumption window.

However the ideal households for this type of technology are those that spend upwards of $2500 a year on their power bills.

Of course we do provide tailored systems and packages unique to your address and usage both for residential, businesses and agricultural buildings. The above analysis is to provide you with a sound understanding on what is achievable under residential conditions.
