If you’re thinking of buying a solar battery price will be your main concern, so let’s look at what you can expect to pay based on battery size. What is the average solar battery price in Australia? Today, the solar panel battery price Australians pay is approximately $1,390 per kWh of storage.
Solar power is becoming increasingly popular in Australia, and more people are looking into solar battery storage solutions. With these systems, you can save the power your solar panels generate during the day and use it at night or when it’s dark. But how much do these systems cost?
On average, the price of a 20kW solar battery system in Sydney ranges between $20,000 and $35,000, depending on the quality and capacity of the battery. Here’s a breakdown: With rebates and incentives, the effective cost can be significantly lower, offering an excellent return on investment over time.
With a lifespan of 10–15 years, a battery can generate $10,000–$15,000 in savings over its life — while protecting you from rising energy prices and blackouts. Solar batteries are becoming increasingly accessible in Australia, especially in 2025 with robust government rebates and rising energy costs.
We’ve been tracking the financial return of batteries in Australia for over a decade and regularly update our analysis of whether batteries are worth it. At the midway point of 2025 was a key turning point in this equation as the federal battery rebate was introduced which offers a discount of around 30% for a typical 10kWh battery.
Thanks to many innovators (some who’ve now got their sights set on Mars), the solar battery price in Australia has plummeted. Supply chain issues due to COVID have definitely curbed that trend recently, but as the world emerges from lockdowns, the solar battery price has started to decline once again.
