LET’S TALK ABOUT A 6.6KW SOLAR PANEL SYSTEM

 A big number of Australian homes are switching over to renewable energy sources like solar since it offers more sustainability and financial benefits than other sources. Not only the households, but the businesses are also switching to solar power for all their energy requirements. If you are thinking of installing solar panels for your homes then some of the questions you might have like which solar panel should be best for your system? Which brands to go for? Which installer and retailer are best? What size of the solar panel system will be suitable for your home? Here, we will discuss all of a 6.6kw solar panel system. The best part of getting a system is that you get your dollars’ worth in terms of energy generated by your system. You just have to send in the best feed-in tariff and you will get a great return on investment through it.

How much area is sufficient to set up a 6.6kW system?

The area that is required for one panel is around 1.7m2, which means a 6kW system will basically cover about 30-36m2 of total area. This area may tend to change depending on the roof type and its tilt. If tilt frames are required, then they will take up a little more space as compared to panels that are mounted flush on the roof. You need to consult your CEC-approved retailer and he will visit the site for proper assessment and then recommend a system accordingly. 

How many panels do a 6.6kW solar system require?

A standard 6.6kW solar panel system as of today uses around 330w to 370w of panels that actually consists of 17-22 solar panels.

How much will a 6.6kW solar system cost?

Now solar panel systems have become more affordable than it was a few years back. Basically, a 6.6kw solar panel system having good quality solar panels and is installed properly come with a cost of around $2500 to $6000. This price may tend to change as per the local government’s subsidies and rebates. If the system offers more benefits then it might be more expensive.

How much energy will a 6.6kW solar panel system generate?

The energy generated by solar panel systems depends on certain factors:  

  • Location of the site

  • Orientation and tilt of the panel array

  • Presence of shade on/around the property (basically falling on the panels)

  • Performance of the panels and the inverter capability. 

Normally, a 6.6kW solar system along with a 5kW inverter can generate energy from around 23.8kW to 27.7kW on a normal day. It is, therefore, considered as the majority of choice by average-sized Australian homes. 

How about a 6.6kW solar system with solar batteries?

If you live in an area where there are regular power outages, then it is always recommended to go for a 6.6kw solar system. Regardless, if your area is not very common to power outages like for example once every month, then it is really important to understand the off-peak and peak power pricing electricity rates with your retailer so as to make maximum utilisation of your battery. The minimum size of batteries that is often recommended is 5kw. It provides maximum sufficient storage capacity. 

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

The average payback period you get if you install a solar panel system and it provides sufficient energy to fulfil all your energy requirements is 3-5 years.
