The cost of a solar battery in South Africa can vary greatly depending on several factors, including the capacity, technology, brand, and warranty. A basic lead-acid battery, for example, can cost anywhere from R5,000 to R10,000, while a high-end lithium-ion battery can cost upwards of R50,000 to as high as R18,000.
The Sunsyk 10.65kWh battery system is available locally for R70,000, which works out to R6,573 per kWh. Hubble's AM-10 battery has the smallest capacity of the lot at 10kWh. However, with a price of R69,495, this works out to R6,950 per kWh. Lastly, the Freedom Won LiTE Home 15/12 system has a capacity of 15kWh and costs R105,720.
Revov's R9 250Ah battery with a 12.8kWh capacity worked out cheapest overall at the cost of R4,133 per kWh. The price of the battery is R52,899. It was the cheapest by some margin, with the next-most affordable per kWh being Cyclone's 15kWh LiFE system for R94,999, or R6,333 per kWh.
As such, the costs associated with batteries have decreased, making them much more accessible. Indeed, since 2022, the cost of battery packs and cells has decreased year-on-year, with 2023 registering a 13% decrease and 2024 trumping this with a 20% reduction.
