Solar’s best bargain or buyer beware? We dive into the details of the supermarket’s new solar solutions.
Need to know
- The supermarket chain has partnered with Tempo to sell solar panel and battery packages
- Tempo also supply Aldi’s ‘private label’ home brands including Stirling, Ambiano and Bauhm
- The two packages are cheap, but come with some questions and concerns
Aldi is now selling solar panel and battery packages, but don’t expect to find them in their middle aisle next to the circular saws and novelty garden gnomes.
Instead, the supermarket chain has launched Aldi Solar with long-time product partner, Tempo, to provide systems for homes based in select metro areas across Australia. Announced in early September, the new service is now taking pre-orders with installations to commence in early November.

How do Aldi Solar’s prices compare to other providers?
Aldi Solar’s prices are very cheap.
Usually, installation of a 10kWh home battery and inverter alone averages between $7000 and $11,000, while a 20kWh one will set you back between $14,000 and $19,000 (after the federal rebates).

An Aldi spokesperson tells CHOICE it’s “planning to expand availability in stages from 2026”, including South Australia and Western Australia.Aldi Solar prices, specifications and extra fees
Unlike your average installer who customises your solar set-up based on your personal power needs, home and budget, Aldi Solar offers just two fixed packages to choose from:
Package 1: $6999
- 10kWh home battery (2 x 5kWh modules)
- 6.6kW solar panel system
- 5.5kW hybrid inverter
Package 1: $8499
- 20kWh battery (4 x 5kWh modules)
- 6.6kW solar panel system
- 5.5kW hybrid inverter
It’s worth noting these prices already include both federal government rebates for the solar panel incentive and the home battery scheme.
ALDI’s packages include free blackout protection, but charge an additional $385 if fire-resistant panelling is required (a requirement for weatherboard or timber homes) and $275 if your home is two-storey.
All components are backed by a 10-year product warranty, with a 25-year performance guarantee on the panels. text here
