According to daily average sunshine data from the nearest weather station at Osterley, households in this community receive approximately 4.0 kWh of sunlight per day. Across 7140, rooftop solar systems collectively generate approximately 9,601,000 kWh of clean energy each year, based on an average system size of 6.2 kW. At current electricity rates, that's equivalent to around $2,880,300 of clean energy at grid electricity costs annually.

Solar Battery energy storage is growing just as rapidly, with 54 battery systems now installed across 7140. Together, these systems provide 1,000 kWh of stored energy capacity, with the average household storing around 18.5 kWh. This means local solar households can typically power their homes for 7.4 hours each night using clean energy they generated themselves during the day.

So instead of sending excess solar energy back to the grid for lower returns, Strickland homeowners are now storing and using their own clean power around the clock. This smart approach not only reduces reliance on expensive coal-generated electricity from the grid, it protects against blackouts, improves sustainability, and maximises their solar investment and long-term financial returns.
