Solar Installation Darwin
Darwin is the sunniest city in Australia with 8.4 peak sun hours daily. Located in STC Zone 1, Darwin residents receive the highest federal solar rebates, making solar more affordable than anywhere else in the country.
Why Darwin is Great for Solar
8.4 Peak Sun Hours - Highest in Australia!
Darwin receives more solar irradiance than any other Australian city. A 6.6kW system typically generates 32-38kWh per day year-round.
Highest STC Rebate Zone in Australia
Zone 1 rating (1.622) means Darwin residents receive up to 35% more STCs than southern states, significantly reducing upfront costs.
High AC Bills Make Solar Essential
Darwin's tropical climate means year-round air conditioning. Solar can offset these high cooling costs, saving thousands annually.
One-for-One Feed-in Tariff
At 8.3c/kWh, Darwin's feed-in tariff offers good value for exported energy, making larger systems economically attractive.
