Quick answer
A 6.6 kW array is a common residential size because it can pair with inverter configurations used on many homes, but its suitability depends on load, roof and network rules.
What matters most
- Estimate annual output for your city rather than assuming one national figure.
- Check how much electricity you use during daylight hours.
- Future EV or electrification loads may justify a larger array where permitted.
Solar decision framework
Separate production from value. System size and location drive generation; your daytime load drives self-consumption; tariff structure determines what each kilowatt-hour is worth.
How to calculate it with SunnyWatly
Use the relevant calculator with your own bill, quote or vehicle information. Defaults are examples only and can become stale as tariffs, rebates and hardware change.
Do not rely on a headline figure alone. Ask what assumptions sit behind the estimate and whether they match your property, tariff and usage pattern.
What can change the result
- Electricity usage and time of day.
- Retail import and feed-in tariffs.
- Roof, shading, inverter or charger constraints.
- Hardware efficiency and usable capacity.
- Network limits and future tariff changes.
