Solar and Battery Package Australia: Prices, Sizes & Installation
A solar and battery package combines rooftop solar panels, an inverter and home battery storage. Your solar panels generate electricity during the day, while the battery stores eligible surplus energy for later use. ADS Solar designs solar and battery packages for Australian homes based on electricity consumption, roof space, budget and backup requirements.

What is included in a solar and battery package?
A complete package generally includes solar panels, mounting equipment, a compatible inverter, battery storage, protection equipment, monitoring, installation and commissioning. Backup hardware, switchboard upgrades, additional electrical work and EV charging may be optional or priced separately. Always compare written quotes by usable battery capacity, inverter output, warranty and the work included.
Solar generation

How to choose the right solar and battery package
1. Review your electricity use
Check annual kWh, daytime use, evening demand, tariff and any expected changes such as an EV or heat pump.
2. Size the solar panels
Assess roof orientation, shade, available space, expected generation and network export limits.
3. Size usable battery storage
Compare the electricity you use after sunset with surplus solar available to recharge the battery.
4. Check battery power
Capacity (kWh) is not the same as power (kW). Check whether the battery can support the appliances you want to run.
5. Decide on blackout backup
Backup is not automatic. Confirm essential-circuit or whole-home arrangements and whether solar can recharge during outages.
6. Compare lifetime value
Consider upfront price, warranties, expected usage, electricity tariffs, battery losses and future replacement needs.
How solar panels and battery storage work together
During daylight, solar panels generate electricity that can power household appliances. When solar output exceeds demand, compatible systems can charge the battery. In the evening or during low solar production, stored electricity can reduce grid imports. The home can still draw from the grid when solar and battery power are insufficient.
A battery can improve solar self-consumption, but financial savings depend on your energy use, feed-in tariff, electricity prices and system costs. A solar-only system may be more economical for some households.
Already have panels? In many cases a battery can be retrofitted, subject to inverter compatibility, switchboard condition and network rules. Explore home battery storage.
Solar-only versus solar and battery packages
| Feature | Solar panels only | Solar with battery |
|---|---|---|
| Use solar during daylight | Yes | Yes |
| Store excess solar energy | No | Yes |
| Reduce evening grid imports | Not directly | Potentially |
| Blackout backup | Usually unavailable | Only with compatible backup design |
| Initial investment | Generally lower | Generally higher |
Australian Government solar battery incentives in 2026
Eligible battery installations may receive an upfront discount under the Australian Government’s Cheaper Home Batteries Program, delivered through the Small-scale Renewable Energy Scheme. The discount is calculated using applicable certificate rules and depends on eligibility, installation timing and eligible usable capacity. The incentive calculation changed from 1 May 2026, including different treatment of capacity bands.
Ask for a written quote that identifies the battery’s usable capacity, applicable incentive assumptions and your final payable price. Check the latest program conditions with the Clean Energy Regulator before making a purchase decision.
Compare solar battery brands and technology
ADS Solar can assess compatible equipment from Anker SOLIX X1, Sungrow, Tesla Powerwall 3, Sigenergy, AlphaESS and SAJ. Compare usable kWh, continuous kW output, warranty conditions, inverter compatibility, expandability, monitoring and backup capability. Availability and final specifications vary by model.

Frequently asked questions about solar and battery packages
How much is a solar and battery package in Australia?
Installed package pricing depends on solar panel capacity, battery usable capacity, inverter choice, electrical work, backup requirements and eligible incentives. ADS Solar advertises selected solar systems from $3,999* and batteries from $5,999* separately. Request a combined installed quote for your property.
Is a 6.6kW solar system with a 10kWh battery enough?
It may suit a household with moderate evening use, but your actual electricity consumption and available surplus solar generation determine whether this combination is appropriate.
What battery size suits a 10kW solar system?
Some households compare 10–20kWh of storage with a 10kW solar array. The best size depends on evening demand, usable capacity, available solar surplus and future EV or appliance use.
Can I add a battery to my existing solar panels?
Often yes. An installer needs to check inverter compatibility, switchboard configuration, installation location and network requirements. AC-coupled and hybrid configurations may be possible.
Will a solar and battery package work in a blackout?
Only if it includes compatible equipment and a correctly configured backup system. Some systems power selected circuits; others may support wider household loads within their output limits.
Are solar and battery packages worth it?
They may be worthwhile when you can use stored solar energy to avoid higher-priced grid electricity. Compare total cost, expected savings, battery efficiency, warranty, tariffs and your usage profile.
Are there battery rebates in 2026?
Eligible installations may qualify for support under the Australian Government’s Cheaper Home Batteries Program. The discount depends on current rules, eligible battery capacity and installation details.
Should I install solar and a battery together?
Installing together allows the equipment to be designed as one system, but adding a compatible battery later can also be a practical option.
