Cost calculator questions
Is the STC discount already included?
Yes. The range shown already has the small-scale technology certificate discount taken off, which is how most installers quote a solar system. The number of certificates changes with system size and reduces each year, so a written quote locks in today's figure.
How much does a battery add?
As a rough guide, a 10 kWh battery adds around $7,500-$10,500 installed and a 13.5 kWh battery around $9,500-$13,500, after the federal battery rebate. The final figure depends on the brand and whether your inverter is battery-ready.
What size system do I need?
6.6 kW suits most homes and pairs with a 5 kW inverter. If you run air-con, a pool, or plan to add a battery or EV, sizing up to 10-13 kW usually pays off. We size it to your roof and your power bill.
Will I still get a feed-in tariff?
Yes - exported power still earns a feed-in credit from your retailer, though rates have fallen. A battery lets you store cheap daytime solar and use it at night instead of exporting it cheaply, which is where most of the savings now sit.
Does the quoted price include GST?
Residential quotes are shown GST-inclusive. Your written quote will itemise the panels, inverter, any battery, the STC discount and the final price so there are no surprises.
How long does installation take?
A standard single-storey solar install is usually done in a day. Adding a battery, a switchboard upgrade, or working on a double-storey or tile roof can push it to a second day.
