Solar Panels Doubleview

Everything You Need to Know About Solar Panels in Doubleview

Doubleview is a strong suburb for solar. You get reliable Perth sunshine, and with the right system design, many homes can cover a big share of daytime power use (air-con, laundry, hot water, home office). Solar resource estimates for the 6018 area sit around ~5.36 kWh/m²/day (annual average).

Using a simple estimate of a 5kW solar system, installed in Doubleview, is estimated to produce about (approximately) 8,202 kWh/year (under the assumption of an appropriate roof, slight shading, and a good quality of parts).

In the Synergy network, the best savings usually come from using your solar power during the day. If you export extra electricity, Synergy’s DEBS buyback rates (from 1 July 2025) pay 10c/kWh for net exports from 3 pm–9 pm, and 2c/kWh at other times (reviewed annually).
Most households also reduce upfront costs through STCs under the Australian Government’s Small-scale Renewable Energy Scheme. STCs are created when you install an eligible system and can be assigned/sold (commonly handled via the retailer/installer, so the benefit shows up on the quote).

FAQ

How much do solar panels cost in Doubleview?

Cost depends on system size, roof complexity, inverter type, and whether you add a battery. The best way to get accurate numbers is a quick roof + usage review and a written quote sized around your daytime demand.

How much energy can a 5kW system produce in Doubleview?

A 5kW system in Doubleview is estimated at ~8,202 kWh per year on average (assuming good components, suitable roof, professional install).

How does Synergy’s DEBS buyback work?

From 1 July 2025, DEBS pays 10c/kWh (3 pm–9 pm) and 2c/kWh (all other times) for eligible net exports, reviewed each year. The vast majority of savings is through the use of your solar power during the day.

Do I need a battery now, or can I add one later?

You can absolutely add one later. Many households go solar-first, then add storage once they understand their usage pattern. If you want a battery soon, eligible small-scale batteries can receive an upfront discount delivered through the SRES.

What if my roof gets some shade?

Shade can reduce output, but it doesn’t automatically rule solar out. We design around shading and roof angles (panel placement, split arrays, and the right system setup) to keep performance strong.
