These figures use satellite and weather data for Mount Eliza 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 Mornington Peninsula and Frankston
The peninsula gets cool sea breezes and mild winters. Many homes are close to the bay or Bass Strait, where salt-mist rated panels and stainless or coated mounting hardware are worth specifying, and holiday homes often have very different summer and winter use.
The Mornington Peninsula and Frankston are on the United Energy 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 Mount Eliza 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.
Shading from trees
Tall trees are common in and around Mount Eliza, and shade costs more output than roof direction does. We check shade across the year, including the low winter sun, and use optimisers or microinverters where a few panels can't avoid it.
What solar could save in Mount Eliza
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.
