Frequently Asked Questions About Solar Energy in Adelaide

Is it worth getting solar energy?

This comes down to your needs, lifestyle and budget. If you’re on the fence, here are some of the advantages that come with a switch to renewable energy.

Potentially reduced electricity rates: The cost of electricity from the grid is a significant factor. Higher electricity rates can make panels more financially attractive, as they allow you to offset your energy costs and potentially save more over time.

Potential Government incentives: Government incentives, rebates, or subsidies may be available for installing new panels. These incentives can significantly reduce the upfront cost of the installation.

Take advantage of feed-in tariffs: Feed-in tariffs allow you to sell excess renewable energy back to the grid. Make sure to research the current feed-in tariff rates to understand how much you can earn from surplus energy generation.

Low Maintenance: The panels typically require minimal maintenance but have a lifespan of around 25-30 years. Factor in any maintenance costs and the durability of the panels when making your decision.

Positive Environmental Impact: The panels reduce your carbon footprint by generating clean, renewable energy. If environmental considerations are important to you, this can be a significant motivator.

What available solar rebates are on offer in South Australia?

South Australia offers a range of rebates and incentives to encourage the adoption of solar energy. These may change over time, so while we strive to be as accurate as possible here, reach out and chat with a member of the Energy Buster team on (08) 7120 6377 for the latest information.

Solar Feed-in Tariff (FiT): Feed-in tariff programs allow you to earn money by feeding excess electricity back into the grid. The rate at which you are paid for surplus energy can vary, so it’s essential to check the current rates.
Small-scale Technology Certificate (STC) Scheme: The federal government’s STC scheme provides financial incentives for the installation of small-scale renewable energy systems, including panels. These certificates can be used to reduce the upfront cost of your installation.
South Australian Home Battery Scheme: The Home Battery Scheme was implemented to support the adoption of residential energy storage systems, such as batteries. This scheme provides subsidies to eligible households for the purchase of home battery systems, making it more affordable to store excess renewable energy for later use.
Low-Interest Loans: Some South Australian local councils and financial institutions offer low-interest loans or financing options for solar installations. These loans can help homeowners cover the upfront costs and pay them back over time.
Solar for Low-Income Households: There have been initiatives to provide solar panels and energy efficiency upgrades to low-income households in South Australia. These programs aim to reduce energy costs for vulnerable communities.

What direction should my solar panels be pointing?

The best direction for panels depends on your location and specific circumstances, but in most cases, the ideal orientation for panels is to face south Here’s a breakdown of the considerations for different orientations:

South-facing panels receive the most sunlight throughout the day. This orientation is often recommended for maximum energy production.

South-facing panels also have a more consistent energy production pattern, with a gradual increase in energy generation in the morning and a gradual decrease in the afternoon.

Energy Buster Tip: East-facing panels capture morning sunlight and produce energy earlier in the day. This orientation can be beneficial for homeowners who use more electricity in the morning.

West-facing panels capture afternoon sunlight and produce energy later in the day. This orientation can be useful for those with higher energy consumption in the afternoon and evening.

Some homeowners also choose to install panels with an east-west split, which means a portion of the panels face east, and the rest face west. This configuration can help balance energy production throughout the day.

Does solar panel tilt angle matter?

Yes! The tilt angle of panels can impact energy production.

The optimal tilt angle is typically close to the latitude of your location. However, for fixed-angle installations on residential rooftops, panels are often mounted parallel to the roof’s surface.

To determine the best orientation for your panels, consider chatting with a member of our installation team on (08) 7120 6377 for optimal panel orientation.

Are there any standards or requirements for solar energy in South Australia?

South Australia has various standards and requirements in place related to solar installations. Here are some key aspects related to renewable energy standards and requirements in South Australia:

Grid Connection Rules: Solar energy systems connected to the grid in South Australia must comply with the grid connection rules set by the Australian Energy Market Operator (AEMO) and local distribution network service providers. These rules ensure the safe and reliable operation of the grid when integrating renewable power.

Clean Energy Council Accreditation: Installers and designers in South Australia are encouraged to be accredited by the Clean Energy Council (CEC). CEC accreditation ensures that solar installations meet quality and safety standards. It’s advisable to choose CEC-accredited installers and equipment.

AS/NZS 5033: Solar installations in South Australia must adhere to the Australian/New Zealand Standard AS/NZS 5033 – Installation and safety requirements for photovoltaic (PV) arrays. This standard covers various aspects of solar installations, including electrical and safety requirements.

Electrical Safety Regulations: South Australia has specific electrical safety regulations that govern the installation of the systems. These regulations cover aspects such as wiring, isolators, and safety switches to ensure safe electrical connections.

How many solar panels do I need?

In short – it depends.

The number of panels you need depends on a range of factors, including your energy consumption, location, available roof space, and the efficiency of the panels you choose.

Here’s a step-by-step guide to help you determine how many panels you might need for your specific situation:

Assess Your Energy Consumption: Start by reviewing your electricity bills over the past year to understand your average monthly and annual energy usage. You’ll want to know how many kilowatt-hours (kWh) you consume on average.

Determine Your Goals: Decide how much of your electricity bill you want to offset with renewable power. Some homeowners aim to offset 100% of their electricity usage, while others may choose a smaller percentage.

Consider Your Location: Your location affects the amount of sunlight your panels will receive. The more sunlight you get, the more energy your panels can generate. You can use online calculators or consult with an installer to estimate your area’s solar potential.

Calculate Solar Panel Output: Panels have a rated capacity in watts (W) or kilowatts (kW). To estimate how many panels you need, divide your desired annual energy production (in kWh) by the annual energy production per panel.

For example, if you want to generate 10,000 kWh per year and each panel produces 300 kWh per year, you’d need approximately 33 panels (10,000 kWh / 300 kWh/panel = 33.33 panels). In this case, you’d likely round up to 34 panels.

Consider Panel Efficiency: Solar efficiency varies, with some panels being more efficient than others. Higher-efficiency panels can produce more electricity in less space. If you’re limited by roof space, you may opt for more efficient panels to maximise output.

Roof Space and Orientation: Evaluate the available roof space and its orientation (south-facing, north-facing, east-facing, or west-facing). Panels can be installed in different configurations, and the available space may impact the number of panels you can install.

Shading and Obstructions: Consider any shading from nearby trees, buildings, or obstacles that could reduce your panel’s sunlight exposure. Shading can significantly affect energy production, so it’s essential to minimise it as much as possible.

Remember, solar systems are modular, so you can start with a smaller installation and expand it later if needed.
