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?
Residential solar systems and battery storage are expected to play an increasingly important role in New Zealand’s energy future, aligning with EECA’s renewables energy objective. As of the end of 2024, just over 63,000 residential solar systems had been installed—representing 2–3% of New Zealand homes*.
As of the end of 2024, just over 63,000 residential solar systems had been installed—representing 2–3% of New Zealand homes*. This suggests the market is still in the early adoption phase.
Every home (and region) is different, and installers often offer special deals, but installed solar now costs around $2,000 per kW in New Zealand. Home systems in New Zealand are commonly around 4-5kW in size, although you could choose to go much larger. Make sure you get a few quotes from different installers.
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?
Yes. New Zealand has strict standards that apply to batteries including the location and installation. If these are followed, the risk of fires is very low. Can batteries be recycled? Yes! 95% of a lithium battery has the potential to be recycled and second life battery manufacturing is occurring in New Zealand.
