    I'm considering installing a 10KW system on my house, I remember hearing that the max export capacity to the grid is 6KW. Does this mean I can only connect a max of 6KW worth of panels?

    Not 6kw of panels. The restrictions is on the inverter side which then stops more than X amount passing back to the network.

    Thanks! So any size of system is fine, you need to put a limit on the inverter to max export capacity?

    Its now 25 amps under the nc6 which is 5.75kW but 5kW inverter are usually used.

    An NC7 does allow higher but that's more involved.
