Brisbane Home’s Complete Renewable Energy System Design & Install

This Brisbane family took a leap towards a sustainable future with a fully comprehensive solar, battery storage, and electric vehicle (EV) charging system installed by Gardel Electrical & Solar in May 2023. Let’s delve into the project’s impact:

Understanding energy needs:

  • Power consumption analysis: The first step of the process was recognising the homeowner’s high electricity bills, so the team conducted a comprehensive two-week energy audit to identify areas of high-energy consumption.
  • Custom system design: Based on the audit’s current findings and taking the family’s future needs into consideration, a tailored system was designed, incorporating solar power generation, battery storage, and a powerful EV charger.

The Powerhouse System:

  • 19.96kW solar power: A robust 19.96kW solar PV system, consisting of 48 Trina Vertex S 415W panels and Sungrow inverters, generates clean energy to power the home and charge the EV.
  • 19.2kWh battery storage: A Sungrow 19.2kWh battery with 6 modules stores excess solar energy, enabling self-consumption and evening out energy usage throughout the day.
  • 22kW EV charger: A high-speed, New Zealand-made Evnex X 22kW Type 2 EV charger allows for fast charging of the homeowner’s electric vehicle.

Environmental Impact:

  • Reduced carbon footprint: In just three months, the system has generated over 9,750kWh of clean energy, preventing the emission of 4,218 kilograms of CO2 – the equivalent of charging over 513,000 smartphones.
  • High self-consumption: The system boasts a remarkable 72% self-consumption rate, maximising energy savings and minimising reliance on the grid.

Financial Benefits:

  • Estimated savings: The family is projected to save a significant $6,000 annually on electricity bills within the first year.
  • Fast payback period: With a payback period of only 5.5 years, the investment in this integrated system pays for itself quickly, especially with rising energy costs
