With 4.9 kW/m²/day solar irradiation, a typical 6.6kW system generates 26kWh daily – enough to fully charge a Kia Niro BEV (16.2kWh/100km) for 160km of driving. Pairing solar with off-peak charging can slash energy costs by 70% compared to petrol. The LDV eT60 ute (26.9kWh/100km) shows particularly strong savings, with solar charging cutting its “fuel” costs to about 4c/km versus 18c/km for diesel.
Considering a home charger? Local electrical regulations require AS/NZS 3000 compliance for installations.
