Solar Charging: Bargara’s Secret Weapon With 20.5MJ/m²/day solar radiation (equivalent to 5.7kW/m²/day), Bargara households can harness serious energy. A typical 6.6kW solar system generates 26-30kWh daily – enough to fully charge a BMW i7’s 105kWh battery in four sunny days while still powering your home. For context, this could save $900+ annually compared to grid charging. Many residents time their charging for daylight hours, maximising solar self-consumption.
Smart Home Charging Solutions While public stations serve visitors well, most locals charge at home. Pairing a 7.4kW home charger (like those used by the BMW X5 PHEV) with solar panels creates a cost-effective setup. Even the Land Rover Defender PHEV’s 26.1kWh/100km consumption becomes negligible when powered by sunshine.
