STCs apply (Perth metro typically treated as Zone 3 in MrSolar’s state defaults). Synergy SolarFIT context and retailer plans affect export value. Indicative 6.6kW after STC often $4,800–$7,200. For Zone 3, MrSolar’s master table (spot $39.85 as of 2026-08-05) points to about $638 in STCs for a comparable residential size class. Indicative installed pricing still varies widely with roof complexity.
Smaller Rockingham homes with modest daytime loads, apartments with limited roof, or households building toward a later battery often start near 3kW.
