Solar Battery Quotes Melbourne: What to Know Before You Add Storage

Getting battery quotes can be confusing because every home uses power differently. A good battery quote should look at your solar generation, evening usage, tariff structure, backup needs and future plans, not just slap a battery on the wall and hope the numbers behave.

If you are searching for the best solar battery installers Melbourne homeowners can trust, the real question is not just who can install a battery. It is who can design the solar and battery system properly from the beginning.

People also search for battery energy power solutions, which is a clunky phrase, but the intent is clear: you want a setup that stores solar power, reduces grid reliance and makes your energy use smarter. Sensible. Rare, but sensible.

When Considering Solar Battery Storage

1

Evening Power Users

For homes that use more electricity after sunset and want to store more of their own solar.

2

Hybrid Solar Buyers

For households wanting solar panels, inverter and battery storage designed together from the start.

3

Future Upgrade Homes

For homes planning an EV, heat pump or larger electrical loads and wanting a system that can support future usage.

4

Bill Reducers

For households wanting to reduce grid imports and get more control over how they use power.

What Makes a Good Solar Battery Quote?

A proper battery quote should explain what the battery is expected to do. Some homes want to store excess solar for evening use. Some want backup power. Some want to reduce grid imports as much as possible. Some just saw a battery ad and now want one because modern life is apparently just being marketed at until surrender.

A useful quote should consider:

  • Your daytime and evening electricity usage.
  • Your solar system size.
  • Battery capacity.
  • Hybrid inverter requirements.
  • Backup power expectations.
  • Available rebates or loan options.
  • Your roof, switchboard and site conditions.
  • Whether the system is being designed as solar and battery from the start.

Solar and Battery Starting Price

If you want a quick idea of solar and battery pricing, our what does solar cost page shows current starting prices for common system options and explains the assumptions behind them.

Our 2026 Rates

6.6kW Solar System (5kW GoodWe Inverter) and a 12.8kWh GoodWe Battery

From $12,820

inc GST, fully installed*

Average Annual Savings: $1,800

This system is the same as our 6.6kW solar system, but with a battery added. It still satisfies the 5kW max feed-in requirements, but the size of the battery, along with the solar, is usually enough to cover the average Australian household’s electricity needs and significantly reduce grid usage.

*The starting price is dependent on the below requirements and allowing for Jinko Solar Panels, a GoodWe inverter and a GoodWe battery.

Starting Price Based On
  • Single storey house, with a colorbond roof that is under a 27 degree pitch.
  • Single phase property, with spare spacing in the switchboard.
  • Inverter will be configured for zero export in line with network requirements.
  • Property is located in Greater Melbourne, Ballarat or Geelong.
  • Solar can be fit over a maximum of two roof faces.
  • STC Rebates to be claimed by Advanced Energy Solutions in 2026 ($1,404 + $3,132).
  • Price is including the Solar Vic Rebate ($1,400), and the Solar Vic Interest Free Loan ($1,400).
  • Total Price is $20,156 inc GST before any rebate and loan deductions.

Why We Design Batteries With the Full Solar System

Advanced Energy Solutions does not retrofit batteries to existing solar systems. Battery installations are only offered as part of a full system design.

  • Panels: The solar system needs enough generation to charge the battery properly.
  • Inverter: The inverter setup needs to manage the flow between solar, home, battery and grid.
  • Battery: Battery capacity needs to match your usage, goals and budget.
  • Usage: The full system should be designed around how your household actually uses power.

That means the panels, inverter and battery are planned together, rather than forcing a battery into an old setup and pretending it was always meant to be there.

This matters because battery performance depends on the whole system. A battery needs enough solar generation to charge properly, the right inverter setup to manage energy flow, and a design that matches how your household actually uses power.

Is a Battery Worth It?

A solar battery can make sense if you use a lot of power at night, want to rely less on the grid, or want to store more of your own solar instead of exporting it for a feed-in tariff that has become, politely, underwhelming.

A battery may suit homes that:

  • Use more electricity in the evening.
  • Have high bills despite already considering solar.
  • Want more control over energy usage.
  • Are planning an EV, heat pump or larger electrical loads.
  • Want a hybrid solar system designed from the start.

For businesses with larger daytime loads, battery storage may also be part of a broader energy strategy. Our Commercial Solar page explains how solar can help businesses reduce energy costs, improve sustainability and manage power needs more effectively.

Possible Extras & Rough Costs

Every home is different, and sometimes a few site-specific factors can slightly increase the cost of your solar and battery install. These aren’t hidden fees, just common extras that may apply depending on your property.

Multi-storey installation Extra labour and safety equipment required. +$1,000 – $3,000
Switchboard upgrade Older homes may need upgrades to meet standards. +$800 – $1,500
Long cable runs When inverter is far from the switchboard. +$200 – $500
Multi roof faces When the solar panels are split over multiple sections. +$250 per split roof
Roof type (Tile) Some materials, such as terracotta, need extra care. +$400 – $800
Steep roof installation (30°+) Additional safety equipment and labour required for steep pitch roofs. +$500 – $1,500
3 phase power 3 phase installations require more expensive parts. +$500 – $2,000
Regional / difficult access Travel or access challenges for properties outside metro areas. +$500 – $1,000

💡 Final costs are always confirmed after a site inspection with transparent pricing and no surprises.

Battery Quotes Need Honest Assumptions

The wrong battery can be an expensive wall decoration. The right battery can help you use more of your own solar, reduce your grid imports and improve the overall value of your system.

That is why a battery quote should be clear about estimated savings, expected usage, product selection, installation assumptions and any extra site requirements. If the quote does not explain those things, it is not really a quote. It is a number wearing a hat.

Compare System Sizes First

If you are still comparing system sizes, start with our 6.6kW Solar Cost page for a common household setup, then compare it with the 13kW Solar Cost page if your home has higher electricity usage.
