6.6kw solar system

A significant proportion of Western Australian families are moving to more cost-effective and ecologically friendly energy sources such as solar. Not only are households embracing solar, but entire businesses are as well. The basic 6.6kW solar system solar system is the most popular installation among solar for home.

1. How much space is required to house a 6.6kW system?

Because one panel requires around 1.7m2, a 6kW system will cover approximately 30-36m2 of area. This is subject to alter depending on the style and tilt of the roof. If tilt frames are required, they will take up somewhat more space than panels installed flush to the roof. Before proposing a system, your CEC-accredited retailer will undertake a complete site survey and assessment.

2. How many panels does a 6.6kW solar system use?

A standard 6.6kW solar system today will consist of 17-22 solar panels ranging in power from 300W to 370W.

3. How much would a 6.6kW solar system set you back?

As of January 2023, a 6.6kW solar system of acceptable quality, fully built, cost about $4500 to $7000 - significantly less than it did just a few years ago. This pricing is also subject to solar rebates and subsidies granted by the local government. Systems with advanced features and benefits will be slightly more expensive, while those with limited features will be less expensive.

4. How much electricity can a 6.6kW solar system produce?

There cannot be a single solid answer to this, considering its dependence on:

Location of the site
Orientation and tilt of the panel array
Presence of shade on/around the property (falling on the panels)
Performance of the panels and the inverter

On a typical day, a 6.6kW solar system with a 5kW inverter can create anything from 23.8kW to 27.7kW of energy. The term “independent” refers to a person who does not work for the government.

5. 6.6kW solar system with solar batteries?

If you live in an area where there are frequent power outages, acquiring batteries for your 6.6kW solar system is recommended. However, if your area is not extremely prone to power outages (say, once every month), it is really crucial to understand the off-peak and peak power prices with your supplier to make the most use of your battery. To ensure enough storage capacity, our experts recommend a minimum battery size of 5kW.

6. What is the payback period of a 6.6kW solar system?

If your system was reasonably priced, well-constructed, and produces a sufficient amount of energy for consumption, the average payback period is 3-5 years.
