You’ll get far more capacity for the same money.Īnd despite what you may have heard, the price you pay in 2021 for a PV system is still heavily subsidised by the Australian government-run solar rebate scheme. Prices in Australia have dropped significantly since I started SolarQuotes over a decade ago (when a piddly installation with 1 kW of solar panels cost $10,000!) – particularly pricing for larger systems. Or to put it another way – how many kiloWatts (kW) of solar panels you choose to install will affect how much it costs. The price of your new solar system will, of course, depend on how big the installation is.
