Using 6.2 peak sun hours as a planning figure for Darwin, a 10kW array can produce about 62.0 kWh/day and ~22,630 kWh/year. North vs east-west layouts, shade and inverter clipping change real results — insist on a site assessment.
Higher STC zones can improve the upfront discount versus southern capitals. NT battery scheme context may apply for storage. Indicative 6.6kW after STC often $5,000–$7,500 before cyclone-spec extras. For Zone 2, MrSolar’s master table (spot $39.85 as of 2026-08-05) points to about $2,431 in STCs for a comparable residential size class. Indicative installed pricing still varies widely with roof complexity.
Darwin homes with pools, ducted AC, EVs or high WFH loads more often land at 10kW+. Confirm Power and Water Corporation export and phase limits early.
Power and Water Corporation assesses capacity. Jacana Energy FiT context (often cited around 8.3c/kWh for eligible arrangements) still usually loses to self-consumption math. Your installer should document the pathway for a 10kW system at Darwin.
