LG solar battery price Brisbane

Hi there, I’m Gigi. I know that diving into the world of solar batteries can feel a bit like learning a new language. You hear lots of model numbers and technical terms, but what you really want to know is: “How much is this actually going to cost me?”

Today, we’re going to break down the cost of LG solar batteries in Brisbane, looking at specific models, installation, and the all-important rebates that can make storing your own solar power much more affordable.

Understanding the full cost of an LG solar battery in Brisbane

When you see a price for a solar battery, it’s often just for the unit itself. The full, “installed” price is what you’ll actually pay, and it’s a bit more complex. Think of it like buying a car; there’s the sticker price, and then there are the on-road costs. For a solar battery, the “on-road” costs include a few key things.

Here’s a general breakdown of what shapes the final price tag for an LG solar battery installation in Brisbane:

• The battery unit: This is the main component, and its price varies by storage capacity (measured in kilowatt-hours, or kWh).
• A hybrid inverter: A solar battery needs a special kind of inverter to manage the flow of energy from your solar panels, to the battery, and into your home. If your current solar system doesn’t have one, you’ll need to factor this in.
• Installation labour: This is the cost for a qualified and, most importantly, Solar Accreditation Australia (SAA) accredited electrician to safely install and commission your system. This is not a DIY job.
• Switchboard upgrades: Sometimes, your home’s switchboard might need to be updated to meet current safety standards for a battery installation.
• Government incentives: The good news! Rebates can significantly reduce your out-of-pocket expenses.

Taking these factors into account, the average cost for a fully installed solar battery in Brisbane can range anywhere from $5,000 for a small system to over $15,000 for a large one.

What are the prices for popular LG RESU models in Brisbane?

LG’s RESU (Residential Energy Storage Unit) range has been a popular choice in Australia for years. While LG has shifted its focus, you can still find these reliable models through various Brisbane suppliers. Prices can vary, but here’s a ballpark of what you might expect for the battery unit alone in October 2025.

LG RESU10 (9.8kWh) price

The LG RESU10, with a usable capacity of 8.8kWh, is a great mid-range option. The unit price is typically in the $6,100 to $6,850 range. It’s a solid choice for a family looking to cover their evening energy use. Fully installed, you could expect the cost to be between $9,000 and $14,000, depending on your existing setup.

LG RESU12 (13.1kWh) price

For those with higher energy needs, the RESU12 offers a larger 11.7kWh of usable capacity. The battery unit itself is priced at around $8,600 to $9,100. An all-in installed price would likely fall into the medium-to-large category, potentially $11,000 to $16,000.

LG RESU13 (13.1kWh) price

The RESU13 is another high-capacity option with 12.4kWh of usable energy. While it’s listed as discontinued on some official sites, stock may still be available through certain installers. Its price point is similar to the RESU12.

LG RESU16H Prime (16kWh) price

The RESU16H Prime is the powerhouse of the RESU family, with a massive 16kWh of usable energy designed for homes with high consumption or those wanting extensive blackout protection. The unit cost reflects its capacity, sitting around $12,600 to $15,800. A full installation in Brisbane could be $17,000 to $22,000+, making it a premium investment in your home’s energy independence.

How much are government rebates for solar batteries in 2025?

This is where things get really interesting for your budget. In 2025, Brisbane homeowners can benefit from the federal government’s Cheaper Home Batteries Program.

This program is delivered through the Small-scale Renewable Energy Scheme (SRES) and can reduce the upfront cost of an eligible battery by around 30%. This is a point-of-sale discount, meaning your installer will claim it on your behalf and you just pay the lower price.

For a typical 10kWh battery, the rebate provided via Small-scale Technology Certificates (STCs) in 2025 could be around $3,350. This makes a huge difference to the final price.

While the Queensland Government has adjusted some of its broader energy targets, it’s worth keeping an eye out for any specific local incentives. For now, the federal rebate is the main financial support available.

Finding the best LG solar battery and installer in Brisbane

Choosing the right battery depends on your goals. Are you trying to slash your evening power bills, or do you want to keep the lights on during a blackout? The subtropical Brisbane climate also means that a battery’s heat tolerance is an important factor. LG batteries are generally rated to 45°C and have an IP55 rating, making them suitable for installation indoors or in a shaded outdoor spot.

Gigi’s pro tip: Always ask your installer about the battery’s warranty and its performance specifications in warmer climates. A good installer will help you choose a model that is perfectly suited to your home and Brisbane’s weather patterns.

The most critical step in this process is choosing a quality installer. A poorly installed system is not only inefficient but can also be dangerous. Always ensure your installer is accredited by Solar Accreditation Australia (SAA). This is the new, official body for accreditation, taking over from the Clean Energy Council (CEC) in 2024. Reputable Brisbane companies will proudly display their SAA credentials. Beyond official accreditation, it’s wise to see what past customers are saying. Checking local reviews on independent platforms gives you real-world insight into an installer’s professionalism, timeliness, and the quality of their work.
