Why South Australian Homeowners Are Going Solar
South Australia offers some of the best conditions for solar in the world due to its high levels of sunshine. More families than ever are choosing to go solar because it:
- Reduces electricity bills by up to 70% on average
- Protects against future energy price hikes
- Increases home value
- Makes you 90% independent of the energy grid
- Contributes to a cleaner, more sustainable community
And with ongoing government rebates, solar has never been more affordable.
How Home Solar Systems Work
From Sunlight to Savings
Here’s a quick breakdown of how solar works:
- Panels capture sunlight and convert it into direct current (DC) electricity
- The inverter turns DC power into alternating current (AC) power for your home
- Your appliances use the solar energy first, reducing what you buy from the grid
- Excess power can be sent to the grid for feed-in credits or stored in a battery for later use
Simple, clean, and endlessly renewable.
