Not always. A battery makes the most sense if you use a lot of power in the evenings, want blackout backup, or are on a rural property where grid reliability matters. With feed-in tariffs falling and the Cheaper Home Batteries Program taking around 30% off, batteries stack up for more households than they used to. We assess your usage and tell you honestly whether it is worth it for you.

Q: What SA rebates and incentives can I get?

The main ones in 2026 are the federal STC discount on solar, the Cheaper Home Batteries Program (around 30% off a new battery), and SA virtual power plant (VPP) incentives. The old SA Home Battery Scheme has closed, so ignore any quote that still mentions it. To claim the rebates your system must be installed by an accredited installer using approved components, which is exactly what we are.

Q: Can you handle rural properties?

Yes. Rural work is one of our specialties, and it is where local knowledge really matters. We size solar and battery systems for real rural loads (pumps, sheds, remote homes), design them to handle the SA climate, and build in blackout backup for the circuits that matter on a long rural feeder.

Q: Do you install EV chargers?

We do. As licensed electricians we install home and business EV chargers, and we can set yours up to charge from your own solar so you run on sunshine instead of peak-rate power. We will check whether your switchboard needs an upgrade and handle the whole compliant install.

Bespoke solar, battery, EV and electrical systems designed around your property and how you actually use power. Based in Kadina, servicing the Yorke Peninsula and Mid-North South Australia.

Your questions, answered

Straight answers on solar, batteries and rebates in South Australia. Still unsure? Call Brett and have a chat.

Is solar worth it in South Australia?

For most SA homes and businesses, yes. South Australia has some of the best sun in the country and some of the highest power prices, so a well-designed system usually pays for itself over time. The key word is well-designed: a system sized to how you actually use power will always beat a cheap off-the-shelf kit. We will tell you straight if the numbers do not stack up for your property.
