Solar for EV charging
Plan additional solar generation for households preparing for electric vehicle charging and greater future electricity use.
Explore EV charging →Solar monitoring
Compatible inverter platforms can help homeowners monitor generation, system performance and selected household energy data.
Why install solar panels on your home?
Rooftop solar allows your home to produce electricity during daylight hours and can reduce the amount of grid electricity you need to purchase.
The greatest value generally comes from designing the system around the way your household consumes electricity rather than simply installing the maximum number of panels that will fit on the roof.
- Reduce daytime grid electricity consumption
- Generate renewable electricity at home
- Prepare for future battery storage
- Support EV charging and household electrification
- Monitor solar production through compatible platforms
- Reduce exposure to future electricity price increases
What size solar panel system should you choose?
The right capacity depends on household electricity consumption, available roof space, orientation, shading, battery plans, EV charging and your future energy requirements.
| Solar system | Possible daily output* | Typical application | Battery planning |
|---|---|---|---|
| 6.6kW | Approx. 24–30kWh | Small to average household | Yes |
| 8kW | Approx. 30–38kWh | Growing household | Yes |
| 10kW | Approx. 38–48kWh | Large family or higher usage | Strong pairing |
| 13kW+ | Approx. 50–65kWh+ | Large home, pool or EV | Suitable for larger storage |
*Generation figures are broad estimates only. Actual solar production varies according to location, season, weather, panel orientation, roof pitch, shading, equipment efficiency and system losses.
What we consider when designing your solar system
Electricity consumption
Your electricity bills help identify annual and seasonal household energy requirements.
Daytime energy use
Understanding when your household consumes electricity helps guide appropriate system capacity.
Roof orientation
Roof direction, pitch and usable area influence panel placement and potential solar generation.
Roof shading
Trees, neighbouring properties and roof structures can affect solar production throughout the day.
Future battery plans
Solar capacity and inverter selection can be planned around future battery storage requirements.
Future electricity demand
EV charging, electric hot water, pools and electrification can substantially increase household electricity consumption.

How much do solar panels cost in Australia?
Solar panel installation costs depend on system size, panel and inverter selection, roof conditions, switchboard work, location and installation complexity. ADS Solar currently offers common residential system sizes starting from $3,999* for 6.6kW, $5,999* for 10kW and $6,999* for 13kW systems, subject to eligibility and site requirements.
What size solar system should I install?
The appropriate solar system depends on household electricity consumption, daytime usage, roof space, future battery plans, EV charging and network requirements. Many Australian homes consider systems from approximately 6.6kW to 13kW or larger.
Can I install solar now and add a battery later?
Yes. Solar can be installed first and battery storage added later where the equipment and system configuration are compatible. Planning a battery-ready solar system from the beginning may make future integration easier.
How many solar panels are required for a 10kW system?
The number depends on the wattage of the individual solar panels. For example, higher-wattage modern panels require fewer modules than lower-wattage panels to reach approximately the same total system capacity.
Do solar panels generate electricity on cloudy days?
Yes. Solar panels can continue producing electricity during cloudy conditions, although generation is generally lower than during strong direct sunlight.
Are solar panels suitable for EV charging?
Solar generation can help offset part of the electricity used to charge an EV. Households planning an electric vehicle may benefit from considering future charging demand when selecting solar system capacity.
Which solar panel brands does ADS Solar install?
ADS Solar works with established solar manufacturers including Jinko Solar, Trina Solar, JA Solar, LONGi, AIKO and other recognised technologies depending on project requirements and availability.
Which areas does ADS Solar service?
ADS Solar provides solar panel installation across Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Adelaide, Canberra and surrounding metropolitan regions. Contact ADS Solar to confirm service availability for your suburb.
