In South Australia, grid-connect solar power for your home is a no-brainer. Rising retail electricity prices continue to be a hotly contested political issue, and South Australia continues to have the most expensive retail electricity bills in the country.
Buying solar panel systems allows you to generate your own electricity from the sun – a clean and sustainable form of renewable energy. This drastically reduces the amount of electricity you need from the grid, thus slashing your energy bills.
And if you produce more power than you need — as people typically do during the day — you can sell that output back to the grid. This is called “export” and you can build up credits on your bill based on the feed-in tariffs offered by your utility.

Over 330,000 SA families have solar / 40.8% of SA households
There’s another key factor that makes home solar systems so attractive right now: the generous government rebates on offer from the Commonwealth, known as Small-Scale Technology Certificates (STC).
The way the STC operates is pretty complex, but in short, you are paid upfront for the power that you generate and in turn the carbon you off set over the life of the system.
We will quote you an “out of pocket price”; this is the price of the system installed after the STC rebate has been applied. Just be aware that the government reduces the STC every year, so the sooner you go solar the more money you stand to save.
Solar installations pay for themselves in 3-4 years

You reduce your power bills, lower carbon emissions, and rely less on the grid. It also adds property value.
It depends on usage and roof space, but most SA homes need 16–24 panels. We customise every system to suit your energy use.
Yes. In SA we have the most expensive power in Australia, the average home is large enough to accommodate the appropriate system, and government rebates reduce the upfront cost, resulting in faster returns.
The national STC program gives you a significant upfront discount on both solar and battery systems.
Depending on solar system size and brand, prices ranges between $5,000 to $10,000 after rebates. Adding battery storage increases the cost.
Savings vary, but most homes cut $1,000 to $2,500 a year off their electricity bills. Using more solar power during the day and pairing it with battery storage further increases those savings.
Most solar panels last over 25 years. Inverters typically last 10–15 years. Warranties and performance guarantees vary by brand.
