STCs apply. Model bill savings on your retailer tariff — Illawarra FiTs rarely carry the business case alone. A 6.6kW array around Wollongong can generate roughly 31.7 kWh/day at ~4.8 peak sun hours before site losses. Bill savings still depend on tariff and daytime usage.
Endeavour Energy manages connections for most Wollongong jobs. Ask every installer to disclose export limits for your street before you pay a deposit.
Homes commonly compare 5kW, 6.6kW and 10kW. Upsize only if you can use or store the extra generation — unlimited export assumptions are a red flag.
Federal STCs reduce upfront cost. The Cheaper Home Batteries Program offers ~$372/kWh usable for eligible batteries. STCs apply. Model bill savings on your retailer tariff — Illawarra FiTs rarely carry the business case alone.
