Solar and battery packages in Victoria, priced as one.
A quality 6.6 kW system with a 10 kWh battery lands around $12,000 to $19,500 installed, and 10 kW with 13.5 kWh around $16,500 to $25,500, both after the federal discounts and before Solar Homes comes off. Figures checked 22 September 2026.
Three discounts, one install.
- Federal STCs come off the solar system at the point of sale.
- The Cheaper Home Batteries discount takes roughly $252 per usable kWh off the battery (first 14 kWh of capacity).
- Solar Homes adds up to $1,400 off for eligible households (income under $150,000, property under $3 million, no solar at the address in 10 years, install by an authorised solar retailer), plus the optional interest-free loan.
Every discount appears as its own line on the quote, alongside the named panel, inverter and battery models. One-line package prices that hide the gear are how the industry earns its reputation; we think itemised is the only fair way to price a package.
| Package | Solar after STCs | Battery after the federal discount | Package total |
|---|---|---|---|
| 6.6 kW solar, 10 kWh battery | $5,000 to $8,500 | $7,000 to $11,000 | $12,000 to $19,500 |
| 10 kW solar, 13.5 kWh battery | $9,000 to $13,000 | $7,500 to $12,500 | $16,500 to $25,500 |
The STC discount on the panels is worth about $1,450 to $1,650 on 6.6 kW and $2,200 to $2,550on 10 kW depending on your postcode's zone, and it is already inside the solar figures above. Take another up to $1,400 off if your household qualifies for Solar Homes.
Package FAQ.
What does a solar and battery package cost in Victoria?
Combining the typical bands: a quality 6.6kW system ($5,000 to $8,500 after STCs) with a 10 kWh battery ($7,000 to $11,000 after the federal discount) prices most packages between roughly $12,000 and $19,500 before the Solar Homes rebate, and $1,400 less for eligible households. A 10kW system with the same battery runs higher. Market ranges checked 26 August 2026; your itemised quote is the real number.
How much can you take off a 10 kW solar and 13.5 kWh battery package?
Up to about $7,350 where a household qualifies for all three, and about $7,000 in STC Zone 4. The federal STC discount on 10 kW of panels is worth about $2,200 to $2,550 depending on your postcode's zone, the federal Cheaper Home Batteries discount takes roughly $252 per usable kWh off the battery (about $3,400 on 13.5 kWh), and Solar Homes adds up to $1,400 for households under $150,000 combined income, on a property under $3 million with no solar installed at the address in the past 10 years. The package itself typically lands around $16,500 to $25,500 installed after the two federal discounts.
Which rebates stack on a combined package?
Three can apply at once: federal STCs discount the panels, the federal Cheaper Home Batteries discount takes roughly $252 per usable kWh off the battery (first 14 kWh), and eligible households get the Solar Homes rebate of up to $1,400 plus the optional interest-free loan. Each shows as its own line on the quote.
Is it cheaper to install solar and battery together or separately?
Together usually wins. One crew visit, one set of electrical work, a hybrid inverter designed for both jobs from day one, and no retrofit compatibility questions later. The battery discount applies either way, so the saving comes from the install itself.
What size package suits a typical Victorian family?
The most common pairing is 6.6kW to 10kW of panels with a 10 to 13.5 kWh battery. The panels cover daytime and fill the battery; the battery carries the evening peak and rides through blackouts. Your bill history decides the right sizes, which is what the quote process works out.
Do package deals mean lower quality gear?
Not when the quote is itemised. Be wary of one-line package prices that never name the panel, inverter and battery models. Our quotes specify every component, so you can check the gear independently before committing to anything.
