Pricing guide

Costs vary mainly with the inverter type and how many units are being replaced. Hybrid or battery-capable inverters and per-panel microinverter jobs generally increase materials and labour because they need extra commissioning and more roof work. Timing (for example after-hours attendance) and any required switchboard upgrades or registration work can also affect the final cost.

  • Inverter type and specification

    Higher-spec or battery-capable inverters typically add material costs and require more commissioning time than standard units.

  • Number of units to replace

    Microinverter replacements scale per panel, so total materials and labour rise proportionally with unit count.

  • Timing and after-hours attendance

    Attendance outside standard hours or urgent call-outs generally attracts higher labour or call-out rates than routine daytime work.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need a licensed installer?
Yes — a licensed solar installer is required for inverter replacement. A licensed installer will typically handle the electrical connection and any required registration or warranty paperwork where applicable.
How long does an inverter replacement take?
A straightforward swap of a single standard inverter is typically completed in a single visit. Hybrid systems, microinverter arrays or jobs that need extra commissioning or roof work usually take longer and may need more than one technician or visit.
Can I supply my own replacement inverter?
Some installers will accept homeowner-supplied equipment if advised in advance, but they will usually check compatibility and may limit warranty or registration responsibilities. It's typically best to confirm these arrangements before booking the job.
Will my switchboard need upgrading?
Major switchboard upgrades or electrical rectification work are generally excluded from a standard inverter replacement. If hidden defects or upgrades are discovered, installers will usually provide a revised scope and quote before carrying out the additional work.
How accurate is the instant estimate?
Our estimates are built from research across thousands of local jobs and real pricing data. Use them as a guide when speaking to solar installers — your actual quote will depend on your specific job.
