The eastern suburbs share Melbourne’s temperate climate. Most homes have enough roof space for solar to pay its way, as long as shading and orientation are planned properly. 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.
- Street trees
- Mature trees can shade roofs for part of the day; we model your roof individually.
