Solar potential in Anglesea
Here's what panels on a Anglesea roof make, month by month, and what that could mean for your bill.
Updated November 2026 · Litmec Electrical, REC-10383
A 6.6 kW north-facing solar system in Anglesea makes about 9,400 kWh a year, about the same as Melbourne: around 36 kWh a day in midsummer and 15 kWh a day in June. East or west-facing roofs make about 85% of that.
On a $450 quarterly bill, that could save roughly $600–800 a year. Anglesea ranks 250th of the 429 places across Victoria we've modelled for solar output.

These figures use satellite and weather data for Anglesea from 2005 to 2023 and already allow for heat, wiring and inverter losses. They don't know your roof: shade, pitch and the faces available decide the real number. Try the roof calculator for your own direction and pitch.
Solar in the Surf Coast and the Otways
Coastal towns here get cool, cloudier winters, especially towards the Otways, so winter output is lower than inland and the value of solar is mostly made from spring to autumn. Salt air along the coast and the bushfire-prone bushland around many towns both shape how a system is specified.
The Surf Coast and Colac districts are on the Powercor network. Your distributor sets how much you can export and approves the connection; we apply for you before anything is ordered.
Salt air near the coast
Parts of Anglesea are close to the water. Near the coast we specify panels certified for salt-mist exposure (IEC 61701) and corrosion-resistant mounting and fasteners, because standard fittings corrode faster in salt air.
Backup when the power goes out
Properties around Anglesea can be on long rural lines that are exposed to storms and bushfire. Standard solar switches off in a blackout; a battery with backup wiring keeps the fridge, lights, internet and water pump running. How battery backup works.
What solar could save in Anglesea
For a home paying $450 a quarter with someone in some days, the calculator suggests a 6.6 kW system saving about $600–800 a year, or $1,000–1,400 with a 10 kWh battery. Your own bill gives a better answer: use the calculator below.

Solar in Anglesea: questions
How much power do solar panels make in Anglesea?
Each kW of north-facing panels in Anglesea makes about 1,429 kWh a year, so a 6.6 kW system makes about 9,400 kWh a year, or 26 kWh a day on average. East or west-facing panels make about 85% of that. (PVGIS satellite data.)
Is solar better in Anglesea than in Melbourne?
In the model, panels in Anglesea make about the same as Melbourne. Anglesea ranks 250th of the 429 Victorian locations we've modelled. Roof direction and shade still matter more than location: east or west panels cost about 15%, and a shaded roof can cost more.
Is solar worth it in Anglesea?
For most owner-occupied homes with a typical bill, yes. On a $450 quarterly bill with someone home some days, a 6.6 kW system in Anglesea could save roughly $600 to $800 a year. Bigger bills, electric heating and daytime loads save more.
Does Litmec install solar in Anglesea?
Yes. Anglesea is about 87 km from our base in Newport. Site visits are free, and your contract and 5-year whole-of-system warranty are with Litmec Electrical.
Can solar keep my power on during outages in Anglesea?
Only with a battery designed for backup. Standard solar shuts down in a blackout. A backup-capable battery keeps chosen circuits, such as the fridge, lights, internet and water pump, running, and the panels recharge it in daylight.
Who is the electricity distributor in Anglesea?
The Surf Coast and Colac districts are on the Powercor network. The distributor sets export limits and approves the connection; we apply on your behalf before the system is ordered.
