How much power do solar panels in the Bendigo generate?
Local insolation yields ≈ 3.8 – 4.1 kWh per installed kW each day on a clean, north-facing roof.
| System size | Avg. kWh / day | Avg. kWh / year |
|---|---|---|
| 3 kW | 11 – 12 | 4,000 – 4,400 |
| 5 kW | 18 – 20 | 6,600 – 7,200 |
| 6.6 kW | 25 – 27 | 9,100 – 9,800 |
| 10 kW | 38 – 41 | 13,700 – 15,000 |
Even in June’s low sun the array holds about 60 % of these numbers—roughly 15–16 kWh a day from a 6.6 kW system—thanks to Bendigo’s clear inland skies.

Modern Tier-1 modules average ≈ 415 W. Divide the array size you want by 0.415 kW, then allow about 1.9 m² per panel:
| Target size | Panels | Clear roof area |
|---|---|---|
| 5 kW | 12 | ~23 m² |
| 6.6 kW | 16 | ~30 m² |
| 10 kW | 24 | ~46 m² |
These counts align with Bendigo’s annual irradiation of ≈ 4.7 kWh/m²-day
A north-facing 6.6 kW array yields ≈ 25 kWh a day (≈ 9.1 MWh / yr).
Self-using 70 % at a typical Victorian flat rate of ≈ 31 ¢/kWh and exporting the rest at retailer offers around 3–6 ¢/kWh after the 2025 FIT change trims bills by roughly $2.3 k a year.
Cloudy days: even heavy overcast still delivers 10 – 25 % of clear-sky output.
Winter: local radiation drops to about 60 % of the annual average, so the same 6.6 kW array still makes ≈ 15 kWh on a mid-winter day.
