What affects solar system pricing?

The main factors that influence how a rooftop solar system is priced, without quoting numbers that don't apply to your situation.

Back to guide

System size

The size of the system, typically measured in kW, is the biggest factor in overall cost. Larger systems generate more electricity but need more panels, more roof area, and often a larger inverter.

Equipment specification

Panel and inverter brands and specifications vary, and pricing reflects those differences. We'll walk you through the specific equipment being quoted rather than leaving it vague.

On-grid vs hybrid

Adding battery storage for a hybrid system increases cost meaningfully compared to an on-grid setup of the same panel capacity.

Site-specific work

Roof condition, mounting structure requirements, and the electrical work needed to safely connect the system can all affect the final quote.

Getting an accurate number

Because of these variables, we don't publish fixed pricing; we provide a specific quotation after understanding your requirement and, where needed, after a site visit.
