Solar in Nedlands — What You Need to Know
Nedlands is one of Perth's most leafy suburbs, which is a double-edged sword for solar. The mature peppermint and jarrah trees provide welcome shade to homes but can reduce panel output by 10–20% on some rooftops. The older housing stock (many 1930s–50s brick homes) has excellent north-facing roof areas. Nedlands is adjacent to UWA and has a high proportion of owner-occupiers who invest in quality systems — 10kW+ installs are common here.
