Home solar cell storage has come a long way since it first appeared. Once reserved for deep-pocketed tech/eco-enthusiasts, this product is increasingly becoming an attractive option for the average homeowner looking to further save on solar energy by using more solar panels.

Thanks to many innovators, some of whom are now looking to Mars, the price of solar cells in Australia has fallen sharply. Recently, supply chain problems caused by the COVID-19 epidemic undoubtedly curbed this trend, but as the world emerged from the blockade, the price of solar cells began to fall again.

Thanks to this steady downtick in solar battery storage price Australia can expect increased adoption in the coming years. Don’t be surprised if you see –

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 batteries australia price?
Today, the solar panel battery price Australians pay is approximately $1,240 per kWh of storage.

This means if you were looking at a 6kWh solar battery price guides would put it around $7,440, plus install.

Will brands affect the cost of solar cells in Australia?
Ferrari horses drive up the price of their products, as does Nike's tick. It turns out that solar energy is no exception.

When you want to buy solar panel cells, the price is closely related to the brand, and brand-name products such as Tesla Powerwall 2 have higher out-of-the-box prices.

But this is not to say that Tesla Powerwall 2 is not worth the money. It is state-of-the-art, has an incredible form factor, and provides good after-sales support. They are industry-leading batteries for a reason.

If all you care about is practicality, then there are still many good and inexpensive options. Take SunGrow as an example. Headquartered in China, they spend much less on daily expenses, which means their solar cells can be cheaper than their competitors while still providing excellent quality.

When it comes to solar battery price Australia isn’t a level playing field…
Solar battery cost does vary in Australia from state to state, mainly due to the subsidies and incentives offered by some state governments. For more information, follow the links for your state below.

Solar cells are rated in kilowatt hours (kWh) and kilowatt hours (kW). You can think of them as the maximum energy the battery can store (kilowatt-hours) and the maximum speed at which it can release energy to run your home.

Many people are confused about this. Let's take a look at an example.

If you have a rated 5kW / 10kWh solar cell, you can assume:

The maximum power that can be discharged each time is 5kW.
If the battery is fully charged, you can get the power of the 5kW within 2 hours before the battery runs out

10kWh / 5kW = 2 hours of full usage.

You can never draw more power from your battery than it’s kW rating, that’s as fast as it goes!

Be careful, if you run multiple appliances that push your consumption needs higher than your battery’s kW rating then you’ll start drawing any excess from the grid.
