Using 5 peak sun hours as a planning figure for Sydney, a 5kW array can produce about 25.0 kWh/day and ~9,125 kWh/year. North vs east-west layouts, shade and inverter clipping change real results — insist on a site assessment.
NSW has no broad residential state solar rebate right now, so the federal STC is the main upfront discount. Indicative 2026 metro 6.6kW pricing after STC is often $5,500–$8,000. FiTs commonly sit around 2–8c/kWh depending on retailer. For Zone 3, MrSolar’s master table (spot $39.85 as of 2026-08-05) points to about $1,076 in STCs for a comparable residential size class. Indicative installed pricing still varies widely with roof complexity.
Smaller Parramatta homes with modest daytime loads, apartments with limited roof, or households building toward a later battery often start near 5kW.
Ausgrid covers much of the east and inner west; Endeavour Energy covers large western corridors; Essential Energy appears on the metro fringe. Export limits are increasingly common on constrained feeders — ask for the street-level limit in writing. Your installer should document the pathway for a 5kW system at Parramatta.
Compare three CEC-accredited quotes. Require panel/inverter models, STC pass-through, export limits, and workmanship warranty. Solar is usually worth modelling in Sydney if you use power by day or plan a battery/EV. FiT-only payback stories are weaker than self-consumption stories.
