Solar repairs MelbourneLocal climate and solar potential in Bayside & Inner South Melbourne
The bayside suburbs share Melbourne’s temperate climate, with sea breezes keeping summer milder. Long summer days still produce far more than most homes use. Across the year, Melbourne averages roughly 4kWh of solar energy per square metre per day.
- Summer
- Around 6.3kWh/m² a day in December and January – ideal for charging a battery.
- Winter
- Around 1.7kWh/m² a day in June. Panels still produce on cloudy days.
- Roof direction
- North-facing roofs produce the most; east and west roofs spread output through the day.
- Coastal air
- Salt spray settles on panels near the beach; a clean once or twice a year keeps output up.
