Prices are influenced by brand, chemistry, installation type, and your existing solar system. To understand value, you must consider the cost per kWh of usable battery capacity. In Australia, the average solar battery price per kWh is $900 to $1,400 per kWh installed. This metric helps calculate value and compare brands effectively.
2030 generation costs: To meet Australia’s target of 82% renewable energy by 2030, the electricity cost is estimated to be about $91 per megawatt-hour (MWh) when transmission is included, or $81/MWh for generation alone.
This has led to multiple gigawatts of grid-scale battery energy storage systems in various stages of development in Australia. Each of them requires significant investment, with millions of dollars at stake and years-long development timelines. As a result, capital expenditure, or capex, is an important consideration when building a battery.
A.3. Storage South Australia became the focus of global interest in 2017 with the rapid development of the first stage (100 MW) of the Hornsdale Power Reserve (“Tesla big battery”), at that time the largest such battery globally.
