Looking into your home\u2019s electricity need, size of the solar PV system and financial incentive schemes will all help determine what kind of investment will see the quickest gain.<\/p>\n<p>Solar panels are worth it if you generate enough electricity and stay in the same house long enough. Solar panels absorb the sun\u2019s energy to generate electricity for free, which can help reduce your electricity bills significantly.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n                \t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"block-fifty-fifty-img-txt-block_d09f289ed9177b477fc4e6b8c06c0490\"  class=\"bg-white flexi-block fifty-fifty-img-txt-block  \">\n\t<div class=\"container relative z-10 flex flex-wrap justify-center pb-0 mx-auto pt-8 lg:pt-16 pb-8 lg:pb-16 \">\n        <div class=\"flex flex-wrap w-full justify-center lg:justify-between items-center    \">\n\n            \n                <div class=\"w-full load-hidden image-wrapper lg:w-1\/2 md:max-w-[500px] lg:max-w-none  xl:pr-3.9\">\n                    <img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.myenergi.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2022\/09\/myenergi-secret-enduser-1024x683.jpg\" class=\"w-full rounded-2.5xl\" alt=\"\" style=\"opacity: 1\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.myenergi.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2022\/09\/myenergi-secret-enduser-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.myenergi.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2022\/09\/myenergi-secret-enduser-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.myenergi.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2022\/09\/myenergi-secret-enduser-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.myenergi.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2022\/09\/myenergi-secret-enduser-1536x1025.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.myenergi.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2022\/09\/myenergi-secret-enduser-2048x1366.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.myenergi.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2022\/09\/myenergi-secret-enduser-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.myenergi.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2022\/09\/myenergi-secret-enduser-250x167.jpg 250w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/>                <\/div>\n\n            \n            \n                <div class=\"w-full self-center lg:w-1\/2 md:max-w-[500px] lg:max-w-none lg:pl-20 2xl:pl-45 pt-12 lg:pt-0 load-hidden content-wrapper\">\n                    <div class=\"w-full first-mt-0 last-mb-0 \">\n                        <h3 class=\"h3  text-left  \">Cost savings by purchasing solar panels<\/h3>\n<p>For example, an average-sized home with a 4kW solar panel system that can meet the energy needs of a family of 3 or 4, will spend approximately $11,000 on a PV system.<\/p>\n<p>If installed by an MCS certified supplier, it will save you up to $1,600 a year.
