Solar inverter prices in Melbourne (October 2026)
Supplied and installed as part of a new 5–10kW residential system in Melbourne, GST inclusive. An inverter is normally 15–25% of the system price (6.6kW in Melbourne: $5,060–$7,360 after STCs), so the brand you pick moves the total by about $794–$1,389.
Which inverter for a Melbourne roof?
- Simple, unshaded north roof: a string inverter (Sungrow, GoodWe, Huawei) is the value pick — $1,290–$2,579 installed.
- Fronius or SMA: the premium string inverters — 10-year warranties, strong local support, $1,984–$3,770. Fronius Primo and Symo are the common Melbourne models.
- Shaded or multi-aspect roofs: Enphase micro-inverters ($2,778–$5,456) or a string inverter with optimisers.
- Battery planned: ask for a hybrid inverter (Sungrow SH, GoodWe ET, Fronius GEN24) so the battery DC-couples later without replacing it.

Most Melbourne installers price the inverter inside the system quote. Ask for it itemised — a quote that lists panel and inverter model numbers and the STC discount separately is one you can compare.
