Battery prices are coming down, but the upfront cost is still significant. On average, home batteries in New Zealand range from $800 to $1,200 per kilowatt-hour (kWh) of storage, depending on the brand and installation requirements.
The lowest price paid was $8,000 for a 6 kWh battery, which implies that smaller systems can be more accessible for those on a budget. The best value was $9,000 for a 9.6 kWh battery, equating to $937.50 per kWh. Indicating the batteries below $1000/kWh can be hunted down in the NZ market. What’s Next for Solar Prices in 2025?
