Installing solar power in Adelaide makes sense because it means you are able to generate sufficient electricity to meet most of your home or business energy needs. This not only enables you to save money and reduce the impact of high electricity prices, but effectively reduces your greenhouse gas emissions and carbon footprint.

‍

With an efficient, well designed solar install, you are able to export excess electricity back to the grid and benefit from the feed-in tariff currently available in South Australia. Making the right solar choice therefore helps you to reduce your power bills and save money straight away.

‍

At Best Solar & Batteries, we also install battery storage solutions that give you greater peace of mind, as you can use the excess energy that your solar system produces at any time of the day or night.

‍

We are committed to devising and delivering comprehensive solutions for solar in Adelaide that are customised to meet your specific needs and circumstances, and designed to make the most of Australian conditions.

‍

What helps us to stand out from other solar installers is that we take care of the entire process for you, from the initial site inspection, to designing a cost-effective solar system, to sourcing high quality panels, inverters and batteries, right through to the installation, which is carried out by our own in-house team of highly trained and CEC-qualified solar energy installers.

‍

As each solar system that we install is produced by a leading manufacturer, you can have peace of mind that you are enjoying more power produced by renewable energy, while increasing your savings potential at the same time.

‍

When it comes to solar power in Adelaide, there are a range of options, but we always recommend choosing quality ahead of price. That's why we only supply and install panels produced by leading manufacturers that we believe are best value for money, as opposed to the cheaper options currently available in South Australia.

‍

When you choose a solar panel on price alone, from an installer who does not have the track record of 5 star reviews and happy customers that we have, it too often will prove a false economy. Cheap panels do not offer value with regards to the amount of energy they deliver, nor the length of operating life, while installers who sub contract rather than using their own in-house team can not offer the same levels of personalised customer service that we provide.

‍

Ultimately, choosing panels from leading manufacturers that are installed by solar experts is the only way to ensure efficient energy production and value for money.

‍

A number of factors will determine the size of the solar system that you need to install. These include your energy consumption and peak usage times, as well as the angle, shading and orientation of your roof, and the amount of space it offers.

‍

When we design a solar system, we take all of this into account in order to produce a comprehensive solar quote that will include the make and model of the panels and inverter we recommend as being suited to your needs, as well as describing in detail the proposed layout and configuration of the solar panels on your roof.

‍

Our quote will also include details of how much you can expect to save with regard to your annual energy consumption and your power bills when you take the South Australia solar feed-in tariff into account, as well as the expected payback period, i.e., how long it will take for your solar power savings to outweigh the installation cost.

‍

Battery storage gives you greater independence, as you are not subject to the outages that can from time to time affect the network, plus you can continue to use the energy you have produced even if the sun is not shining and your solar panels are therefore not generating power.

‍

We can supply and install batteries with a variety of capacities that are produced by leading names in the industry, including Tesla, LG, Goodwe and Alpha.

We supply and fit solar panels that are built to withstand Australian conditions and operate at maximum efficiency all year round. Most of the solar panels we install have a self-cleaning feature, but it can be helpful to check periodically whether dust or bird droppings have built up on the panels, as this can prevent sunlight getting to the solar cells. It is also helpful to check at regular intervals that the inverter is functioning properly.

‍

If you have any concerns about the performance of your solar system, our technicians are always on hand to undertake any repairs or maintenance that may be required.

‍

Is the installation of solar panels viable on all types of roofs?

Provided there is sufficient space, and the underlying infrastructure is sound, solar panels can generally be installed on any roof type, including metal, tile and flat roofs. The material will not have any impact on the performance of your solar panels.

Solar panels consist of an array of interconnected solar cells, which are made from semiconductor materials and are able to absorb sunlight and then convert that energy into electricity.

‍

This means that when a solar system is being designed and installed, shading needs to be taken into account. When panels are shaded by buildings or trees, the sun can be blocked from reaching the solar cells, and this is tend will impact on how much electricity can be produced.

When you have a solar system installed that is connected to the grid, your standard electricity meter will need to either be re-programmed or replaced with a bidirectional meter.

‍

This will measure how much electricity is being exported from your solar system back to the main electrical grid, as well as how much you are importing.

The installation of a bidirectional meter as part of your solar system enables you to take advantage of the feed-in tariff offered by your electricity provider.

‍

There are many qualities that help us to stand out from other suppliers of solar panels in Adelaide.

‍

For instance, we provide a face-to-face, in-house service. This means that our own team of solar experts will take care of every aspect of your solar system design and installation, unlike many other Adelaide solar installers, who outsource much of the work to third parties, who do not have the longevity and a track record of satisfied customers that we do.

‍

Because we offer a personalised service, every solar system we design is configured to meet your precise needs, and is installed to the highest possible standards, as all the members of our team are CEC certified. We can also design battery storage so that you can be sure of having access to electricity at the times when you need it.

‍

We are also committed to providing back up and support if it is needed, and will be here long into the future to continue to meet your needs (unlike many of our solar energy competitors in South Australia).

‍

In addition, we can make all the necessary arrangements on your behalf with your electricity retailer to gain approval for feeding back the excess energy your solar system produces.
