When your solar system Adelaide produces more electricity than you consume, that extra energy returns to the grid. The utility company compensates you for this power through the feed-in tariff program.
Adelaide Solarsafe is a family-owned solar installation company offering tailored solar panel and battery solutions to residential properties. They also provide EV charger installations and home energy monitoring. Our Adelaide solar panel installers are committed to providing the best solar solutions for every property.
On-Grid
Your panels are connected to the electricity grid with an on-grid solar system in Adelaide. Any excess energy they generate is sent back to the grid, and you receive a feed-in tariff rate. It can help reduce your electricity bills from the start. Batteries can be added to this system to create enough extra power to fulfil your energy needs during the night and inclement weather.
Our solar installers are experts in designing and installing Tesla Powerwall and BYD home battery systems. These are world leaders in the renewable energy space, with NRG Solar being a Premium Certified Installer of both manufacturers. It means our expert team gives you top performance and peace of mind. We also understand your energy needs and how to optimise your solar system for the best results, giving you long-term savings from high electricity prices.
Off-Grid
An off-grid solar system is a stand-alone system that can supply power to properties not connected to the grid. These systems are often used in remote locations where connecting to the grid is expensive and for people who want to reduce their dependency on external energy sources. Off-grid solar systems are typically combined with backup power sources such as diesel generators.
Off-grid solar systems allow homeowners to reduce their dependence on fossil fuels, protect themselves against utility price increases, and contribute to Australia’s greener, more sustainable future. However, selecting the right system requires careful consideration of your power requirements and energy usage patterns. It is essential to consult with energy experts and consider long-term sustainability goals.
Licensed electricians can design off-grid solar and battery storage systems optimised for your needs and energy consumption. They can also perform the required electrical work, such as mounting solar panels and installing the batteries.
Return of Investment
With careful energy usage and an optimal roof space, most Adelaide households can save over $1,000 a year with a 6.6kW solar system. The payback period and return on investment for such a system are excellent, especially when combined with Australia’s low electricity rates and high feed-in tariffs.
Most households maximise their savings by consuming the solar power they generate instead of exporting it into the grid. It is particularly important when solar production drops significantly during winter and the shoulder seasons.
Energy Storage
Solar systems can be configured to collect excess energy and store it in batteries for use at night or in inclement weather. The energy stored in the battery is then used to offset electricity consumption, drastically reducing energy bills. In maximising the benefits of home battery storage, a system is usually planned with a capacity more significant than the size of the inverter (this is called ‘oversizing’).
Depending on your household needs and location, different solar power systems have different rates and rebates. For example, a premium 6.6kW system with Canadian 370w panels and an SMA inverter costs $7499* after claiming STCs.
With the rise in electricity prices, more households are investing in solar energy solutions. Investing in a clean, sustainable power source can escape the usual power company supply & demand games and gain energy independence. Our Adelaide solar panel installers are committed to providing the best solar solutions for every property.
The type of solar system that’s right for you largely depends on your location, the space available on your roof, aesthetics, warranty length, and your budget. There are also a few other factors to consider, such as your main reason for going solar, whether it’s to save money or decrease your carbon footprint.
