Why the region matters
Solar is not a national product. A 6.6kW system in Tauranga generates meaningfully more than the same system in Wellington. The connection process differs by lines company. Coastal addresses need corrosion-rated hardware and inland ones do not. Wind zones change the mounting specification.
Anyone quoting you a national average is guessing. Pick your region for the real numbers.
