1. Ballpark pricing
Ballpark pricing
A solar-only install is typically best matched with about $1000 per kW. A 6.6 kW solar array is about $6600. A 10 kW array is about $10,000 and so forth.
This will waver between installer, panels and inverters used, and the difficulty of the job.
Think of it as a planning range rather than a final quote.
Battery pricing follows a similar pattern
A battery-only install has a similar price per kW, however existing rebates may assist in lowering that cost.
Depending on the battery used the price may be a little higher or lower than this.
Common package examples
A 6.6 kW panel and roughly 15 kW battery package fully installed could be anywhere from $13,000 to $20,000.
A 13.3 kW panel and roughly 20 kW battery installed could be anywhere from $17,000 to $26,000.
These ranges are broad because every home carries a different scope profile once somebody looks at the job properly.
- • Installer choice
- • Product quality
- • Scope of work
- • Difficulty of job
- • Current rebate settings
Bring your bill into the conversation
If you know your daily usage or quarterly bill amount already, bring that into the tailored assessment so the price discussion starts from something real rather than generic.
The quote only gets definitive once someone looks at your home, your roof, your switchboard, and your access conditions properly.
Knowledge check
Is the per-kW figure a locked quote?
No. It is only a rough ballpark so you can understand the range before a site-specific quote is prepared.
What keeps the package examples broad?
Every install has different scope, materials, access conditions, and rebate timing, so the numbers are only meant as orientation.
