Go West and Save: The Surprising Solution to Your Skyrocketing Power Bills

WA Households Encouraged to Install West-Facing Solar Panels for Cost Savings

Tens of thousands of households in Western Australia are being urged to install solar panels on the western side of their homes. This approach aims to help reduce power bills and address the challenges of managing expensive peak-energy demand.

With Perth’s solar uptake rates currently at around 2,000 households per month, Energy Minister Mike Nahan emphasised that north-facing solar panels are no longer the most economical choice. West-facing systems better align with afternoon and evening peak energy usage, maximising savings and reducing reliance on the grid.

Why West-Facing Panels Are Gaining Popularity

Traditionally, solar panels have been installed facing north to optimise sunlight throughout the day. However, west-facing panels have proven to be more effective at capturing sunlight during peak demand times in the late afternoon. This reduces energy costs when grid electricity prices are highest, offering substantial savings for homeowners.
