Solar Charging: Yellowdine’s Secret Weapon With solar radiation levels 35% higher than Perth’s average, Yellowdine households can harness significant energy savings. A 5kW solar system here typically generates 21-26kWh daily – enough to fully charge a Fiat 500e’s 42kWh battery in two sunny days while still powering household needs. For the average local driving 50km daily, solar could cover 90% of charging needs for a BYD Dolphin (21.6kWh/100km), slashing fuel costs by over $1,500 annually compared to petrol vehicles.
Making the Switch Simpler The town’s 485 homes are increasingly adopting solar-battery systems, with EV charging becoming a natural extension.
