Accepted Answer

Most Ocean Grove homes go with 6.6kW or 10kW. As a rough guide: a $300/quarter bill suits ~6.6kW, $500/quarter suits ~10kW, and larger bills or future battery/EV plans push you toward 13kW+.

Question 4

What's the difference between Tier 1 and premium solar panels in Ocean Grove?

Question 5

How long do solar panels last in Ocean Grove?

Accepted Answer

Quality solar panels in Ocean Grove are warranted for 25 years and typically perform for 30+ years, losing only ~0.5% efficiency per year. The inverter is usually the first component to need replacement (10–15 years).
