What is the cost of solar panel installation on the Central Coast?

What you’ll pay on the Central Coast in 2025

Labour rates and the federal STC rebate are the same as Central Coast, so Central Coast prices track closely to NSW averages. After the rebate and GST you are usually looking at about $0.80–$0.95 per watt, or $3,600 for a small 3 kW system up to roughly $13 k for a large 13 kW array.

System size	Typical out-of-pocket price*	What that covers
3 kW	$3,600 – $4,000	7–8 panels, suits singles/couples
5 kW	$4,500 – $5,500	12–14 panels, average townhouse
6.6 kW	$5,000 – $6,500	17–20 panels, typical family home
10 kW	$7,500 – $10,500	24–26 panels, large family / small business
13 kW	$11,000 – $13,600	32–34 panels, high-use homes / light-commercial

*Prices include design, hardware, installation, STC rebate and GST, but exclude optional extras such as battery storage or tile-roof surcharge.

Why the range?

Equipment grade: Budget string inverters vs. premium brands can swing costs by 15–20 %.
Roof access: Steep roofs, second-storey installs or asbestos add labour hours.
STC rebate: In zone 3 (Central Coast) a 6.6 kW array earns ~80 STCs worth ≈ $3,000; that discount is already baked into the prices above.

How much power do solar panels in the Central Coast generate?

Central Coast rooftops turn sunlight into electricity at roughly 3.6 – 3.8 kWh per installed kilowatt each day—about 1,320 – 1,380 kWh a year. Put simply, add the system size (in kW) to that yield rate and you know what your array will deliver through every season.

Below is a quick reference for the most common residential sizes:

System size	Avg. kWh per day	Avg. kWh per year
5 kW	~18 kWh	~6,640 kWh
6.6 kW	~24 kWh	~8,830 kWh
8 kW	~30 kWh	~10,950 kWh
10 kW	~36 kWh	~13,250 kWh

Figures come from recent Central Coast production data and already account for local weather, panel orientation and system losses. On winter’s shortest, cloudiest days output can dip to 40 % of these numbers, while long, clear summer days can push 20 % higher. Partnering with Fordan Solar ensures your array is engineered to meet – or beat – these benchmarks year-round.

1. Do you install solar panels in Central Coast, Norwest?

Yes. Fordan Solar’s in-house crews cover the whole Central Coast corridor—from Gosford and Wyong through to Tuggerah, Norah Head and the Norwest growth precinct—so you only deal with one licensed team from quote to switch-on.

2. How many solar panels do I need in the Central Coast?

Modern residential modules average ** 390 – 415 W** each.
Rough rule: System kW ÷ 0.4 ≈ panel count.
Example: 6.6 kW ÷ 0.415 kW ≈ 16-18 panels; 18 × 415 W = 6.6 kW.

Roof area: allow 1.9 m² per panel, so the 6.6 kW set needs about 33 m² of clear, unshaded roof.

3. How can solar panels cut your electricity bills in the Central Coast?

A north-facing 6.6 kW array on the Coast generates ≈ 26 kWh a day (~9,500 kWh a year).
If you self-use 70 % of that energy at a typical Central Coast grid rate of 33 c/kWh, and export the rest at a feed-in of ≈ 5–6 c/kWh, annual savings look like:

Flow	kWh / yr	Value
Self-consumed (70 %)	6,650	$2,195
Exported (30 %)	2,850	$ 160
Total first-year cut	–	≈ $2,350

With typical system prices, payback often falls inside 4–6 years.

4. Do you provide solar panel installation services in Central Coast for commercial and residential use?

Yes. Fordan Solar’s covers the entire Coast—from Gosford and Wyong through Tuggerah and Norah Head—handling homes, businesses and strata sites with one point of contact from design to commissioning.

5. What is the process of getting solar panels installed in Central Coast, and how long does it take?

Retailer arranges smart-meter swap	≤ 15 business days
