Coming at this late, but that is a really good price for a fully installed system, does that include some government subsidy?

Considering a similar system like that in southern Europe where installation is pretty cheap, and the prices are higher, I see A$12000 for a 10KW system of panels and a 10KW Fronius three-phase inverter.

Yes, there's some rebates from federal government in those numbers.

For the record:

33 x 370W solar panels (Jinko) - 12 year warranty

Three-phase inverter (Sungrow), battery capable down the track

Installation (labour, mounting kits, wiring, etc)

Total is A$13,000 -- less the government incentives / subsidy ($36 / STC) of A$6,600 which are intercepted by the vendor in this case.

In Australia these subsidies are taking yet another hit at the end of this year, hence there's a bit of a spike in people paying for these systems, but scheduling installation in 2021.
