With energy prices climbing and Australia’s sun shining brighter than ever, more homeowners are asking the same question: “How much can I really save with solar?”
One of the most popular choices for Aussie households is the 6.6kW solar system — and for good reason. It hits the sweet spot for cost, output, and savings. But what does that mean for your electricity bills? Let’s break it down.
Why 6.6kW is Australia’s Favourite Solar System Size
A 6.6kW solar system typically includes about 16 to 18 solar panels, paired with a 5kW inverter. This setup works perfectly for the average Australian household, covering most — if not all — of your daytime energy needs.
For many families, a 6.6kW system strikes the ideal balance between upfront cost and long-term savings. Plus, it’s big enough to make a serious dent in your power bills but small enough to fit on most roofs.
How Much Power Will It Produce?
A good quality 6.6kW solar system can generate about 24–28 kWh of electricity per day, depending on your location, roof angle, and the season.
Here’s a rough guide for annual output:
- Brisbane: ~10,000–11,000 kWh per year
- Sydney: ~9,500–10,500 kWh per year
- Melbourne: ~8,500–9,500 kWh per year
- Adelaide & Perth: ~10,500–11,500 kWh per year
How Much Can You Save?
This is what everyone really wants to know — the savings!
Example:
If your household uses an average of 20 kWh per day and your 6.6kW system covers most of this during daylight, you could reduce your power bills by up to 70–90%, depending on your usage patterns and feed-in tariff.
- Average annual savings: Around $1,200 to $2,500 per year.
- Over 10 years, that’s $12,000 to $25,000 — and that’s not even counting rising electricity costs!
