The 6.6kw solar system with 5kw inverter price is one of the most common things Victorian homeowners search for when they start comparing solar. It makes sense. A 6.6kW system is a popular household size, and many people want to know the real 6.6kw solar system price Melbourne installers are charging before they book a quote.
The honest answer is that the 6.6kw solar system cost depends on the products, roof, switchboard, rebate eligibility and installation conditions. Annoying, yes. But less annoying than pretending every house in Melbourne is the same rectangle with perfect access and a polite switchboard.
