Frequently Asked Questions about 7kW Solar Systems
Is 7kW solar overkill for a Perth home?
Not if you have ducted AC, an EV, or a pool pump. Average 7kW Perth household self-consumption is 35-45%, with the rest exported. With a battery, this becomes one of the highest-ROI sizes.
Can I install 7kW on a single-phase home?
Yes, most 7kW Perth installs use a 5kW single-phase inverter (panels oversized at 1.4:1). For full 7kW inverter export you’d need 3-phase or a 6kW inverter with export limiting.
What’s the difference between 6.6kW and 7kW solar?
~400W more panel capacity (one extra panel) for ~$500–$1,500 more cost. Worth it if your roof has the space and you have above-average daytime consumption.
