Commercial Solar PV Price Index for December 2017

By James Martin II on

This month’s Commercial Solar PV Price Index sees the introduction of 70kW solar systems for the first time (a long overdue addition). The average cost of installing a commercial solar system in Australia currently sits at around $1.19 per watt ($1.19/W) – nominally less than last month‘s figure of $1.20/W and a modest improvement over the $1.25/W we published in January. When Solar Choice first started publishing the Index in May of 2015, the average price was $1.54/W.
