Solar & batteries in Cronulla, NSW and beyond

Eco Ease Electrical specialises in Solar, Batteries, Electrical Repairs and EV charging and Cronulla has been one of their key areas to service over the past 15 years.

Cronulla, known for its stunning beaches and vibrant community, is an ideal place for adopting solar energy and home storage batteries. With its abundant sunlight, residents can harness solar power to reduce energy costs and minimise environmental impact.

As of June 2024, the Cronulla postcode has installed over 2,000 small-scale solar systems. This is more than the Sydney average, per head of population.

With a population of 29,231, this equates to 503 watts per person in the area, compared to the Australian average of 982 watts. The 2230 area contains approximately 14,055 dwellings, resulting in an average of 15 solar panel systems per 100 dwellings, compared to the national average of 38.

On a conservative estimate, the area produces 55,765 kWh of energy daily, enough to power about 2534 homes. With retail electricity costs at 35 cents per kilowatt-hour, Cronulla and the 2230 postcode area residents collectively generate energy worth $7, 123,705 annually at retail prices, if all that electricity would be self-consumed.

Additionally, the solar power systems in the 2230 region contribute to reducing greenhouse gas emissions, avoiding 16,987 tonnes of carbon dioxide emissions each year.

Cronulla’s coastal environment presents unique challenges for solar installations, particularly due to saltwater exposure and high humidity. These conditions can accelerate corrosion, so it’s essential to use robust, corrosion-resistant racking systems.

Eco Ease ensures all installations in Cronulla feature high-quality, corrosion-protected racking to withstand these harsh conditions, ensuring long-term durability and efficiency.

By installing solar in Cronulla you can enjoy the many benefits that include:

• Cost savings: Solar panels can greatly lower electricity bills by generating your own power.
• Environmental impact: Solar energy is clean and renewable, producing no greenhouse gases. By using solar energy, you can contribute to a healthier planet.
• Energy independence: With solar panels, you rely less on the grid, ensuring energy security, especially during power outages.

The amount of solar power produced will depend on the size of the solar PV system.

*Can vary and depends on the amount of self-consumption vs export

Integrating battery storage with your solar system allows you to store excess energy produced during the day for use at night or during cloudy periods.

This not only maximises your solar investment but also provides a reliable backup power source during grid outages. With battery storage, you can further reduce your electricity bills and increase your energy independence.
