Solar batteries are generally classified as a ‘solar accessory’, meaning they are an optional component of any system. And yet, in New Zealand, they nearly cross the line between ‘optional’ and ‘essential’. Let us discuss what makes solar batteries important, and if they are worth the added system cost. Why Do You Need Solar Batteries?

Overall Costs: The average total price paid for a battery system is $14,396, indicating that energy storage is still a significant investment for many. The lowest price paid was $8,000 for a 6 kWh battery, which implies that smaller systems can be more accessible for those on a budget.
Study shows that the solar battery market is poised to reach an astounding USD 540 million by 2030, from just 148 million in 2021. In New Zealand, even grid-scale battery projects are taking off. Obviously, most battery customers don’t seem to care about reduced savings. The reason?
Despite these limitations, here's what the small dataset revealed: Key Insights: Battery Cost Per kWh: The average price per kWh is $1,249.79, which sets a benchmark for assessing battery affordability in the market (since we don’t have much previous data on battery prices in NZ).
Battery storage, from household to utility-scale batteries and within electric vehicles, is a game changer in the energy transition. Solar penetration is still low in New Zealand but it is growing quickly and if we want to make the most of it we need to capture and store it to be used when the sun isn’t shining and when demand is at its highest.
