DNSPs are by their nature monopolies, as they own & operate the physical infrastructure (‘poles & wires’) that delivers electricity to your home. More accurately, the grid company is known as the ‘distribution network service provider’ (DNSP). If your home is connected to the power grid, then whether you realise it or not there is a ‘network company’ servicing your home. Why are there limits on grid-connected system sizes?

The times we would generally recommend going smaller than 6.6kW would be when you’ve got insufficient, unshaded roof space available or when your budget doesn’t allow going for a larger system. A system of this size will generally produce plenty of energy – usually with enough ‘surplus’ solar energy to charge up a battery bank if you choose to install one at a later date.Įven without batteries, any solar energy that you do not ‘ self-consume‘ directly within your home will earn you solar feed-in credits on your electricity bill, so it’s not a big problem to have a system that is generating more energy than you need. We’ve written extensively on this topic (resources below), but as a rule of thumb, a 6.6kW solar system is both affordable and meets most of Australia’s network requirements for a simple approval process and permission to export (receive a feed-in tariff). If you’re considering solar (or a solar system expansion) for your home, you’ll want to know what the best size system for your circumstances would be.
