How Does Solar Work?

The average Australian household has an electricity bill of about $500 per quarter. This translates to using 18-20kWh of electricity per day.

If you answer yes to many or all of the following questions, then solar could reduce your bill substantially:

Do you have a North or North West facing roof?

Is you roof unshaded for most of the day?

Are you mostly at work during the day?

Could you use your washing machine etc. at the beginning or end of the day rather than in the middle of the day?


If you answered yes, then a 2 kW system could save you around $1,600 per annum in electricity you sell back to the grid.


How does this work? The energy you generate goes straight back to the grid …. and in return your energy provider actually pays YOU.


This is called a “feed in tariff” and in NSW, retailers pay at least 60 cents per kWh, some more.


If power bills rise considerably over the next few years as they are expected to, the savings will be even higher.


At Standard Industries, we professionally supply and install quality systems to replace all or part of your bill. All at very reasonable prices.
