Home/ Projects / Residential Solar Installation in Greystanes – Cutting Power Bills by Over 95%
Project Snapshot
This one-day residential solar installation in Greystanes brought immediate results for Michael and his family. With Aiko Neostar 2S panels chosen for their shading optimisation and long-term efficiency, this solar installation is now delivering strong daily performance in real-world conditions.
Understanding the Client’s Needs
Michael reached out after feeling the weight of a large electricity bill. With two kids and a household that regularly uses the air conditioner, washing machine and dryer, the cost of powering daily life had become unsustainable. He wanted to reduce costs without changing the way his family lived.
However, there was another concern: his roof was partially shaded during winter by trees on a neighbour’s property. He couldn’t remove or trim the trees, so any solar solution needed to work efficiently in less-than-ideal light. Michael was after a system that would handle this challenge while still delivering a high return on investment over the long term.
How We Got It Done
On-Site Consultation and Assessment - We began with a detailed site inspection. At Clean Earth Solar, we always carry out an on-site visit before quoting. It allows us to understand the property layout, shading, electricity usage, and ensures that when we make a recommendation, it’s based on the real conditions of the home. No assumptions, and no empty promises.
Dealing with Permanent Shade - The main technical challenge was shading, specifically from trees that weren’t on Michael’s property. He couldn’t simply remove them, but we needed to make sure the shading wouldn’t significantly affect performance.
Leveraging Shade-Optimised Technology - Thanks to the Aiko panels’ built-in shading optimisation, we were able to overcome this. These panels allow each cell to work more independently, which means shaded sections don’t drag down the output of the entire array. It was the perfect fit for the conditions. It’s also why we focus so much on tailored design, generic solutions just don’t work in these situations.

Customer Support and Guidance
We also supported Michael by explaining the long-term savings potential, energy output, and system features before any decision was made. It was important to him that the investment would be worthwhile and it’s already proving to be just that.
Results and Key Takeaways
Immediate Savings and Long-Term Value - The results speak for themselves. Michael’s latest quarterly power bill came in at only $23, down from $730 the previous year and that’s without reducing his power use.
Environmental and Energy Impact - The benefits went far beyond just savings on paper. The system now generates approximately 21,321 kWh per year, which is enough to power the household for over three months beyond its regular usage.
The environmental savings are just as impressive:
CO₂ reduction of approximately 17,057 kg per year
The equivalent of removing 88,857 km of car driving emissions annually
This is the kind of impact that makes solar a win for both the household and the planet.

“We’ve got two kids, we use the dryer twice, we use the washing machine, we’ve used the air conditioner all for 10 cents in a day. I was telling pretty much all my friends about it. I told the neighbour, and now he’s looking to get solar next week.”
