How Much Does a Solar Inverter Cost?

Solar inverters vary quite a bit in price. Micro inverters can start as low as $195 apiece. String inverters can vary from $500 to around $5,000. Meanwhile, hybrid inverters are anywhere from $600 to around $4,000.

When choosing a system, you’ll often have a budget or premium option. Premium inverters offer benefits like longer warranties, better support, improved monitoring, and enhanced shade performance—features that can add an extra $1,000 to $3,000 to your cost. Ultimately, it’s up to you to decide if these advantages are worth the additional investment. Have a look at the prices of models we feature in our solar inverter comparison table.

The inverters below are listed in order of increasing estimated retail price including GST. However, these prices are unlikely to appear as separate line items on your quote, which would also include installation cost.
