Solar & Battery Packages Australia

Putting in solar panels and a battery together costs less than adding the battery later. Package deals save $1,500 to $3,000 compared to separate installations, on top of up to $8,000+ in solar and battery rebates.

Why bundle solar and battery together?

Installing solar panels and a battery at the same time is cheaper than adding a battery later, for four reasons.
  1. Save $1,500 to $3,000

    Bundling solar and battery together costs significantly less than two separate installations. One install visit, shared hardware, and package pricing.

  2. One installer

    One company designs, installs, and warranties your entire system. No finger-pointing between solar and battery installers if something goes wrong.

  3. A system designed as one

    Your solar and battery are sized and configured to work together from day one. A hybrid inverter manages both, maximising self-consumption and efficiency.

  4. Faster installation

    Everything goes in at once in 1 to 2 days. No need for a second installation visit, re-wiring, or inverter swap when you add a battery later.

Solar and battery package prices by state

Each state offers different rebates and incentives on top of the federal programs. Here is what you can expect to pay for a standard 6.6 kW and 10 kWh package in each state.

South Australia (Adelaide)

Package price (6.6kW + 10kWh)

$13,706 to $19,706

after federal rebates

  • Federal STCs: about $1,710 off 6.6kW of solar

New South Wales (NSW)

Package price (6.6kW + 10kWh)

$13,706 to $19,706

after federal rebates

Federal figures are worked on a 6.6kW system in each state's STC zone. See how the up to $8,000+ figure is worked out.

The federal solar rebate is not a cash payment from government. It is a number of small-scale technology certificates (STCs) your system creates, which your installer trades and applies to your quote as an upfront discount. The value moves with the certificate market.

All quotes, savings estimates, and rebate calculations provided through our website are indicative only. Final pricing and rebate amounts will be confirmed by your assigned installer following a site assessment. Actual savings may vary based on energy usage, system performance, and electricity rates.

6.6kW solar system with battery price

The 6.6kW solar system paired with a battery is Australia's most popular package size. Here is what you can expect to pay in 2026, worked in STC Zone 3 like the packages above.
  1. 6.6 kW solar only

    $7,000 to $10,000 installed, or $5,290 to $8,290 after STCs. Generates 24 to 28 kWh per day on average. Covers most household daytime usage.

  2. Add a 5 kWh battery

    Add $5,708 after federal rebates. Covers evening usage for small households. Total package: $10,998 to $13,998 after federal rebates (the Starter package above).

  3. Add a 10 kWh battery

    Add $8,416 to $11,416 after federal rebates. Covers overnight usage for most families. Total package: $13,706 to $19,706 after federal rebates (the Standard package above).

  4. Add a 13.5 kWh battery (Tesla Powerwall 3)

    Add $9,542 to $12,542 after federal rebates. Near complete energy independence. Total package: $14,832 to $20,832 after federal rebates ($20,000 to $26,000 installed).

The 6.6kW and 10kWh package includes

  • 16x tier-1 415W solar panels
  • Hybrid inverter (solar + battery)
  • 10kWh LFP battery system
  • Professional installation (1 to 2 days)
  • Meter reconfiguration
  • System monitoring app
  • 10 to 25 year product warranties
  • 5 to 10 year installer's workmanship warranty

Why 6.6 kW: most single-phase connections allow up to 5kW export, and the extra 1.6kW of panels makes up for real-world losses and charges your battery faster.

Frequently asked questions

How much does a solar and battery package cost in Australia?
A typical 6.6kW solar + 10kWh battery package costs $18,000 to $24,000 before rebates. After the federal rebates (about $4,294 in STC Zone 3), expect to pay $13,706 to $19,706. The solar rebate moves a little with your STC zone, and in Victoria the Solar Homes rebate takes a further $1,400 off for eligible households. Bundling solar and battery together saves $1,500 to $3,000 compared to installing separately.
Is it cheaper to buy solar and battery together?
Yes, bundling solar and battery saves $1,500 to $3,000 compared to separate installations. You save on labour (one installation visit), shared components (hybrid inverter handles both), and many installers offer package discounts. You also avoid the cost of retrofitting a battery later.
What size solar and battery package do I need?
For an average 3 to 4 person household using 20 to 30 kWh per day, a 6.6kW solar system with a 10kWh battery is the most popular choice. Larger homes or those with EVs should consider 10kW solar with 13.5kWh+ battery. We recommend analysing your energy bills to right-size your system.
Can I get rebates on a solar and battery package?
Yes. The federal STC rebate takes $1,482 to $2,014 off a 6.6kW solar system depending on your STC zone, and the Cheaper Home Batteries Program pays about $258/kWh on the first 14kWh of battery capacity (about $2,584 on a 10kWh battery). Some states add more: Victoria's Solar Homes rebate is $1,400 on panels for eligible households, and the WA Residential Battery Scheme pays up to $1,300 (Synergy) or $3,800 (Horizon Power). The SA Home Battery Scheme and the QLD Battery Booster have closed.
Where does "up to $8,000+" in rebates come from?
It is the two federal programs, plus a state scheme where your state runs one. The solar STC rebate on a 13.3kW system, the largest a normal single-phase home can install, is worth $3,458 in STC Zone 3. The federal Cheaper Home Batteries discount is worth about $258 per kWh of usable capacity on the first 14kWh, roughly 30% off a typical battery, and keeps paying at a lower rate above that, so it grows with the battery. A 14kWh battery earns $3,610, which puts the two programs at $7,068. With a 24kWh battery they come to $8,626 on their own. Some states add more on top: in Perth, for example, the WA Residential Battery Scheme pays $1,300 to Synergy customers who meet its conditions, taking the 13.3kW and 14kWh system to $8,368. Your own figure depends on your system size, your STC zone and your state, and the quiz works it out.
What is included in a solar and battery package?
A complete package typically includes: solar panels, a hybrid inverter (handles both solar and battery), the battery unit, all mounting hardware, wiring and electrical work, council approval if needed, meter reconfiguration, system monitoring setup, and the installer's workmanship warranty on top of product warranties.
How long does a solar and battery package take to install?
Most residential solar and battery packages are installed in 1 to 2 days. The solar panels and battery are typically installed on the same day. From signing the contract, allow 4 to 8 weeks total for paperwork, approvals, and scheduling. The actual on-site work is usually completed within a single day for standard installations.
