Elevate Your Energy Efficiency: Introducing the 13.2 kW Solar System
The 13.2 kW solar system is a substantial and efficient renewable energy solution designed for residential and commercial properties. By harnessing the sun's energy, this system offers numerous benefits, including cost savings, environmental sustainability, and energy independence. With rising electricity costs and growing concerns about climate change, the 13.2 kW solar system presents a compelling opportunity to reduce carbon footprints and save on utility bills.
System Components
- Solar Panels: These are the heart of the system, converting sunlight into electricity. A 13.2 kW system typically includes 30 or 32 panels, depending on the wattage of each panel. The panels are usually made of silicon cells, which are highly efficient in converting sunlight into electricity.
- Solar Inverter: The inverter converts the direct current (DC) electricity produced by the panels into alternating current (AC) electricity, which is used to power your home or business. The inverter is a crucial component that ensures the electricity generated by the panels is compatible with your electrical system.
- Mounting Racks: These sturdy racks securely hold the solar panels in place, either on your roof or on the ground. The mounting racks are designed to withstand various weather conditions and ensure that the panels are optimally positioned to capture sunlight.
- Monitoring Systems: These systems allow you to track the performance of your solar system, including energy production and consumption. Monitoring systems provide valuable data that can help you optimise your energy usage and maximise the benefits of your solar investment.
How much energy is produced by a 13.2 kW solar system?
A 13.2 kW solar system can generate an estimated 50-80 kWh of electricity per day, depending on factors such as location, orientation, and shading. This translates to approximately 1,500-1,800 kWh per month or 18,000-21,600 kWh per year. This level of energy production can significantly reduce or even eliminate dependence on the grid, leading to substantial savings on electricity bills over the system’s lifespan.

What are the space requirements of a 13.2 kW solar system?
To install a 13.2 kW solar system, you’ll need approximately 63 sqm of roof space for the panels. For ground-mounted systems, you’ll need a slightly larger area, typically around 70 sqm, depending on the mounting system used. Despite the space requirements, the long-term benefits of reduced electricity bills and environmental impact make the installation of a 13.2 kW solar system a worthwhile investment.
Financial Benefits of 13.2 kW Solar System
- Savings on Monthly Electric Bills: By installing a 13.2 kW solar panel at your property, you can drastically reduce or eliminate your electricity bill altogether, depending on your total energy consumption and the area in which your solar panel is installed.
- Long Term Return on Investments: Through net metre reading, you can sell the excess energy produced by your 13.2 kW solar system back to the grid and generate extra income through your solar installation.
- Increased Property Value: In today’s real estate market, there’s a lot of demand for homes with solar installations compared to those without, due to energy efficiency and cost savings.
- Incentives and Rebates by Government: For promoting sustainable energy, today, the government is offering lucrative incentives and rebates. People can take advantage of these incentives such as rebates and tax credit schemes and save a lot of money.
- Maintenance and Durability: Since the 13.2 kW solar systems require minimal maintenance, this keeps your operating cost low. These solar systems also come with warranties of 20-25 years, they even last longer, offering long-term savings.
Installation Process of 13.2 kW Solar System.
Below are the steps involved in the installation of 13.2 kW solar System
- Site Assessment: The solar system installation starts with this 1st step in which a solar expert from our team will visit the side and finalise the location for the panel installation post checking for any shading issues.
- Paper Work & Approvals: The next step involves taking approvals from the energy provider and network operator to ensure compliance with regulations. Our experts are well experienced to handle all the paperwork, so you don’t have to stress about this step.
- Installation: As per the design specifications, our experts go ahead and install the panels, inverters and mounting racks. This process may be completed in a single day or may take longer time depending on the scale and complexity of the work.
- Solar System Maintenance: Regularly maintaining your 13.2 kW solar system is of utmost importance to ensure optimal performance for a longer time. Most solar systems don’t require much maintenance, but regular checks can help you keep your system working fine without any issues.

Environmental Impact of a 13.2 kW solar system
Switching to solar power with a 13.2 kW system can have a positive environmental impact by reducing carbon emissions and reliance on fossil fuels. Over its lifetime, a 13.2 kW solar system can offset approximately 10-12 metric tons of carbon dioxide emissions per year. This reduction in emissions helps combat climate change and contributes to a cleaner, greener planet for future generations.
Frequently asked questions about our solar systems
. The installation process typically takes between one to three days, depending on the complexity of the installation and weather conditions. However, factors such as site preparation and obtaining permits can affect the overall timeline.
Unless you have a battery backup system installed, a grid-tied solar system like a 13.2 kW system will not work during a power outage. This is to ensure the safety of utility workers who may be working on restoring power to the grid.
Maintenance for a 13.2 kW solar system is relatively minimal. Regular cleaning of the solar panels and periodic inspections of the system are recommended to ensure optimal performance. Additionally, monitoring the system’s performance can help identify any issues early on.
Yes, most solar systems are designed to be easily expandable, allowing you to add more panels if your energy needs increase.
Shading can significantly impact the performance of a solar system by reducing the amount of sunlight reaching the panels. It’s essential to minimise shading from trees, buildings, or other obstructions to maximise the efficiency of your system.
Tile or colourbond roofs are suitable for installing a solar system. However, the condition and orientation of your roof will affect the performance and efficiency of your system.
Solar panels typically come with a 25-year performance warranty, while inverters may have a warranty of 10 to 15 years. Other components may have varying warranty periods, so it’s important to review the warranty terms before purchasing a system.
