TechManPat Compare Index · Australia

Home battery price per usable kWh.

A common yardstick for comparing differently sized systems. It is a planning index, not a quote or a claim that the cheapest kWh is the best battery.

01

Representative capacity

Each family is normalised at the available capacity step closest to 13.5 kWh. This avoids comparing a tiny starter stack with a much larger installed system.

02

Installed allowance

The range includes a system-level allowance for battery hardware, inverter pathway and installation. Site work, switchboards, backup circuits and incentives can materially change a real quote.

03

Not a ranking

Price per kWh does not measure inverter power, backup quality, warranty detail, phase support, service or compatibility. Use it to question a quote, not to choose blindly.

Indicative installed-price index

Lowest planning midpoint first.

Ranges are rounded to the nearest $500. Products with different included hardware are not perfectly interchangeable.

How to use this responsibly

Shortlist systems that genuinely fit the house, then compare itemised installer quotes at the same usable capacity, inverter output, backup design and warranty scope. A lower index number can disappear once required gateway, switchboard or phase work is added.
