How much will solar panels produce in Perth?
A 6.6 kWp system facing north at 35° tilt in Perth produces about 11,438 kWh a year. In a weak year that is 9,578 kWh, in a good one 13,298 kWh — 1,733 kWh per kWp.
That’s about 208% of a typical home’s yearly use (5,500 kWh).

Common questions
How much do solar panels produce in winter in Perth?
From May to August the system produces about 2,996 kWh, which is 26% of the year. The weakest month (June) gives roughly 666 kWh.
Is an east-west roof worth it in Perth?
An east-west system typically produces 10–25% less per kWp than one facing north, but spreads production more evenly through the day. The exact difference depends on tilt and shading.
Ground mount or roof in Perth?
A ground mount can be tilted and aimed freely, which can add some yield, but it costs more and needs space. Compare both for your own plot.
