What to Expect from a Solar and Battery Quote in Australia
If you’re considering solar and batteries in 2025, you’re probably wondering: what will it cost, how much will I save, and is it worth it?
In this post & video, we break down what you should expect from a typical solar and battery quote in Australia including key components, system sizing, projected savings, and return on investment.
Your quote should show projected solar battery ROI—that is, how long it will take for your system to pay for itself based on savings.
Example:
To estimate your true return, use a battery payback calculator. If your system costs $24,000 but you receive rebates ($3,300 solar + $3,800 battery), your net cost is ~$17,000.
Divide your annual savings ($3,200) by your cost ($17,000) and you get a payback period of just over 5 years.
That’s an internal rate of return (IRR) of approximately 11%, outperforming many traditional investments.
The solar battery rebate 2025 offers substantial savings across Australia. Depending on your state and installer, you could be eligible for:
Many Australians choose zero-upfront payment plans. In these cases, your loan repayments may be the same or even less than your old energy bill.
That means you could switch to solar + battery at no additional monthly cost—while building equity in your home.
