Across the year, a 6.6 kW system here makes more than a typical four-person home uses. In June it makes about 18 kWh a day, which is still about what a four-person home uses.

Solar is made in the middle of the day, while most homes use more power in the morning and evening. Without a battery, a good share of what your panels make is exported to the grid, so solar covers less of your bill than these totals suggest. Running the dishwasher, washing machine and pool pump during the day helps.

Household use figures are Australia-wide averages from the Australian Energy Regulator's 2020 benchmarks. Air conditioning, a pool or an electric car can add a lot more.

Is Bullsbrook good for solar?

Yes. Like the rest of Perth, Bullsbrook is one of the sunniest places in Australia to own solar panels. It gets about the same sunshine as the Perth CBD, averaging 6.0 sun hours a day on a north-facing roof.

December is the strongest month, when a 6.6 kW system makes about 40 kWh a day. June is the weakest, at about 18 kWh, so expect your summer output to be roughly 2.2 times your winter output. That swing is normal and doesn't mean anything is wrong.

How many homes in Bullsbrook have solar?

Solar systems installed in postcode 6084 (shared with Lower Chittering), from the Clean Energy Regulator.

3,252systems installed since 2001
326added in the past 12 months
111systems per 100 houses (2021 count)

Postcode 6084 has had more solar systems installed than it had houses at the 2021 Census. That usually means a fast-growing area with lots of new homes built since, nearly all with solar. 326 more were added between Oct 2025 and Sep 2026, so solar is still being installed here every week.

These count every small solar system registered since 2001, including upgrades and replacements, so they run a little higher than the share of homes with solar today. House counts are from the 2021 Census.
