What’s a fair price to pay for a system?
The charts show brands that I trust, as well as where they sit in a spectrum of budget-to-top-end.
If you’re quoted these brands, what kind of prices should you expect to pay?
Well – it depends on a couple of things. But for ballpark figures for a fully installed solar system:
- 5kW (around 12 panels): $4,500 – $8,000
- 5.4kW (around 14 panels): $4,700 – $8,500
- 6kW (around 15 panels): $5,000 – $9,000
- 6.6kW (around 16 panels): $5,500 – $9,000
- 7kW (around 17 panels): $6,500 – $10,000
- 8kW (around 19 panels): $7,500 – $11,000
- 10kW (around 24 panels): $8,000 – $13,000
- 15kW (around 36 panels): $13,000 – $18,000
- 20kW (around 48 panels): $17,000 – $22,000
Costs can increase if you need a switchboard upgrade or other electrical work to make your home suitable for solar power, or if the design of your home makes the system installation more difficult.
If you’re quoted much less than these price ranges by a solar energy salesman, their margins are likely very slim (and potentially unsustainable), or they may have to cut corners – whether that is with their customer service or elsewhere.

Frequently Asked Questions
A battery storage system for a typical residential home looks like a small fridge or hot water system. For small commercial applications, they can be larger ranging in size from a large fridge to a 20-foot shipping container.
The increasing number of solar panel installations in households around Australia is providing a new market opportunity for energy storage. Large batteries or multiple batteries joined together in battery banks can store the energy produced by solar panels. The household can then use that stored energy at a later time or sell it back to the electrical grid. For home owners, there are three main benefits of storing energy:
- maximise energy savings (by being able to store solar energy and thus use it more effectively)
- offset consumer feed-in tariffs (by being able to avoid using the grid at peak times when electricity is more expensive)
- provide continuity of supply (if the site has unreliable grid supply).
Battery storage is perfectly safe if it is used properly and is well looked after. There are potential risks, but these are no different to the many electrical hazards already present in the modern home. However, it is important to be aware of the risks so they can be properly managed.
Safety aspects of battery storage to consider include:
- general hazards of electrical wiring (as are already present in your premises)
- chemical and fire or explosion hazards (these are similar to the hazards associated with bottled gas or a natural gas service)
- possible escape of non-flammable gases when charging or discharging lithium batteries (which may cause risks of inhaling noxious gas that are similar to those of a natural gas leak if there is no ventilation)
- production of chemical leakages (like those from the corrosive fluid of a car battery or household chemical cleaning products).
The main options currently available for household energy storage are lithium-ion and lead-acid batteries. Both types are described in the question ‘Which type of battery is right for me?’.
Other less common options include nickel-cadmium, nickel-metal hydride and flow batteries. The latter may be more costly, but can still offer value, depending on how much energy you want to store and how you want to store it. The best battery storage for a given situation will depend on a number of factors. To work out which option is right for you, it is best to work with an CEC approved solar retailer and accredited installer.
