Is $8,094 to install a solar battery system a fair price?
Project Details
I've received a quote for a solar battery system for my existing 24 solar panels. I'm currently two adults with a baby on the way. I work from home 3 days a week, and my partner works 1 day. With maternity leave, I expect bills to increase, even though we are frugal. I'm questioning if this is a good price for a nearly 20 kWh battery installation. The salesman emphasized that the rebate will decrease in FY26, and I'm wondering if there's truth to this claim about it being the best time to get the battery installed. Even if we only stay in the home for 5-7 years, I assume the solar plus battery installation will add value for future homeowners. I'm also wondering if I need to double the output of the inverter due to the number of panels we have, and if the age of my 10-year-old panels affects the inverter size.
