You can access:

• •

  Federal STCs (Small-scale Technology Certificates): These reduce the upfront cost of solar systems.

• •

  Cheaper Home Batteries Program (from 1 July 2025): Offers ~30% off eligible batteries based on usable capacity.

• •

  SA-specific battery rebates: Although the SA Home Battery Scheme has closed, new trials and programs may still offer limited support. We'll guide you based on your eligibility.

With the right system, most Adelaide homes save around $1,500–$2,600 per year on electricity bills. If you add a battery, your savings can increase further, especially if you use most of your solar power at home.

Most households see a return on investment within 3 to 5 years, depending on the system size, energy usage, and available rebates. High-consumption homes with batteries may still break even within 6–7 years, thanks to the new federal battery discount.

Feed-in tariffs (the amount you earn by sending extra power to the grid) are currently lower, typically around 7–15c/kWh, depending on your energy provider. While they help, using your solar power directly or storing it in a battery usually offers better savings.

Not much! Solar systems are low-maintenance. We recommend:

• •

  A professional cleaning every 1–2 years

• •

  Performance checks via your app Offers ~30%

• •

  Prompt service if output drops
