Is solar worth it in Melbourne?

These figures use Melbourne’s latitude and typical sunshine for the generation, then Australia’s electricity price, export rules and incentives for the money. The sun a roof sees in Melbourne is the single biggest driver of the result, which is why we model the city directly rather than a national average.

See the full Australia picture on our Australia solar page, or the incentives in our Australia solar guide.

Estimate only, not a quote. Figures use local climate data and average tariffs; your installer’s quote will be exact.
