Over the last decade, solar power has secured a place in the sun as the most reliable, affordable and abundant source of energy capable of creating a more sustainable future now and for generations to come.
The tables below show average solar power system prices for August 2018 including complete system purchase and installation and the price per kW for solar electricity generation.
If you want to make the most of your high-value PV-generated electricity, energy storage via a battery is a great way to go. Battery systems don’t enjoy the same sort of subsidies that solar does in Australia, but there are some financial incentives such as battery system rebates available to help support the purchase of solar batteries.
If you own a solar panel and battery storage system, solar power monitoring questions like the following have probably crossed your mind:
‘Are the panels generating power right now? Is the battery charging? Did the home use mostly grid power or solar power last week? How would I know if it all stopped working?’
