Part of this would be due to a reduction in the (still generous) national &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/panels\/rebate\/\">solar rebate<\/a>&#8220;; which is being gradually phased out and reduces each year on January 1. While sales contracts may have been signed in December, installations were more likely to occur this month and the rebate level is based on installation rather than purchase date.<\/p>\n<h2>Cost Per Watt \u2013 National Averages<\/h2>\n<p>The following graph shows pricing history on a cost-per-watt basis across all system sizes nationally since January 2021. Systems may be pricier than they once were, but installing solar panels is still a no-brainer for most households with a suitable rooftop wanting to slash their electricity bills. And a nice bonus of course is the associated emissions reduction.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-70378\" src=\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/cost-per-watt-dec22.png\" alt=\"Graph: solar cost per watt: Australia December 2022\" width=\"878\" height=\"587\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/cost-per-watt-dec22.png 878w, https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/cost-per-watt-dec22-300x201.png 300w, https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/cost-per-watt-dec22-768x513.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 878px) 100vw, 878px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>6.6kW And 10kW System Prices \u2013 December 2022<\/h2>\n<p>After three months of drops and then a jump in November, average pricing for fully installed <a href=\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/systems\/6kw\/\">6.6kW solar<\/a> reduced slightly from around $6,600 to $6,523 in December.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-70379\" src=\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/system-price-graph-dec22.png\" alt=\"Graph: 6.6kW system cost: Australia December 2022\" width=\"875\" height=\"582\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/system-price-graph-dec22.png 875w, https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/system-price-graph-dec22-300x200.png 300w, https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/system-price-graph-dec22-768x511.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 875px) 100vw, 875px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/systems\/10kw\/\">10kW solar power systems<\/a> are gaining popularity as Australians seek to make the most of their rooftop real estate.

In the second half of the year, Australians certainly weren&#8217;t put off having to pay a bit more in order to avoid the impact of some pretty nasty electricity price rises.<\/p>\n<p>(Polysilicon) crystal-ball gazing isn&#8217;t my forte, so I won&#8217;t attempt to predict what will happen with solar prices in Australia this year. But something you can pretty much take to the bank (quite literally) is a home solar power system will save your household money on electricity bills. And the longer your home&#8217;s rooftop is without one, the longer you&#8217;ll be paying your energy retailer much more than you otherwise would.<\/p>\n<p>To get an idea of how much you could be saving by installing panels and estimated payback times, try the very popular and easy-to-use SolarQuotes <a href=\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/solar-calculator\/\">solar (and battery) calculator<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>While prices for solar systems increased a little in WA last month, the state still had the cheapest systems in Australia on an average cost per watt basis.
