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. The best value was $9,000 for a 9.6 kWh battery, equating to $937.50 per kWh. Indicating the batteries below $1000/kWh can be hunted down in the NZ market. What’s Next for Solar Prices in 2025?
Average Price For A Solar Power System: The typical solar power system size from our dataset was a 7kW, the average cost for this system size was $16,492. Battery Systems Prices: The average battery cost is $1,249.79 per kWh, with smaller systems offering affordability and larger systems offering better value per kWh.
The Energy Competition Task Force's recent proposals signal a fundamental shift in how solar generation will be valued and compensated. At the heart of these reforms is a recognition that solar's contribution to grid stability and peak demand management has been historically undervalued.
Key Insight: Bigger systems offer better value per kW. While a 4kW system averages at $2,601 per kW, an 11-12kW system drops to $1,901 per kW, making larger installations a smarter long-term investment for households anticipating higher energy needs, like adding EV chargers or transitioning appliances from gas to electricity.
Nearly doubling its penetration rate from 1.02% to 1.94% since March 2023, industrial adoptions reflect growing recognition of solar's role in managing energy costs and achieving sustainability goals. This surge in industrial installations, now totalling 2,533 connections, signals a fundamental shift in how large energy users view solar technology.
