Melbourne’s Smart Choice for Savings & Sustainability
Why Choose a 6.6kW Solar System
- Requires 18 – 24 solar panels, covering approximately 32 – 43 m² of roof space
- Paired with a 5 kW inverter (pre-approved for grid connection)
- Produces around 23.8 kWh/day in Melbourne’s conditions
- Suitable for households with moderate to high electricity usage
- System cost: $4,500 – $9,000, or under $3,000 after rebates
- With battery storage: $12,500 – $21,000 total (with further financing options)
How It Works
Your 6.6 kW solar system captures sunlight through advanced monocrystalline or half-cell PV panels, converting it into usable power through a high-efficiency inverter.
During the day, your home runs on solar energy and with battery storage, you can use that same clean power at night.
This means lower bills, reduced grid dependence, and a smaller carbon footprint.
Battery Options
EcoGreen offers flexible battery storage add-ons (from 5 kWh to 15 kWh) so you can:
Your solar panels often generate more electricity during the day than your home can use. A battery stores this extra energy so you can use it later in the evening when the sun goes down.
With a battery, you can power more of your home using your own solar energy instead of relying on the electricity network. This lowers your energy bills, gives you greater independence, and protects you from rising grid prices.
A battery backup system keeps essential appliances running when the grid goes down. Lights, Wi-Fi, fridges, security systems, and medical devices can continue to operate smoothly.
Eligible Victorian households can take advantage of government support through the Solar Homes Program. This includes interest-free loans of up to $11,000 to help offset the cost of installing a solar battery system.
Real World Saving Examples
Over a 5-year period, a typical Melbourne home with a 6.6 kW system could generate:
Solar electricity: ≈
40,000kWh
$20,000+
With a battery included, the system can cover up to 70% of your home’s total energy needs, paying for itself in around 8–10 years, and continuing to deliver free energy for decades.
