Connecting solar and batteries in Adelaide

Adelaide is on SA Power Networks' network, which covers South Australia. It works with your installer on the connection, and the system must meet the SA Government's dynamic export requirements.

  1. Step 1: Flexible Exports

    Every exporting solar system installed from 1 July 2023 must be compatible with Flexible Exports. With an internet-connected inverter you can export up to 10 kW per phase, adjusted to what the local network can take.

  2. Step 2: Or a fixed limit

    You can choose a fixed export limit instead: 1.5 kW per phase, or 0 kW in some parts of the network.

  3. Step 3: If the internet drops

    Exports ramp down to 1.5 kW until the connection comes back.

  4. Step 4: Export charges

    SA Power Networks applies a fee or tariff to electricity you export. How it reaches you depends on your retailer's plan, so compare feed-in offers after connection.

Before you get quotes

Incentives for homes in Adelaide

These are the incentives open to homes in the area. Your installer normally applies the federal discounts to the quoted price.

  • Solar: small-scale technology certificates (STCs) reduce the price of eligible systems. Adelaide postcodes are in the Clean Energy Regulator's zone 3, which sets how many certificates a system earns.
  • Batteries: the federal Cheaper Home Batteries Program discounts eligible batteries through the same certificate scheme.
  • There's no South Australian rebate for solar panels open to households.

Feed-in tariffs and electricity prices

Retailers in Adelaide set their own solar feed-in offers, and SA Power Networks applies an export fee or tariff, so compare feed-in offers once your system is connected.

The Australian Energy Regulator's Default Market Offer caps standing offer prices in SA Power Networks' area. From 1 July 2026, retailers in Default Market Offer areas also have to provide a Solar Sharer Offer with free electricity during three hours in the middle of the day, which needs a smart meter. It can suit homes that charge a battery or an EV during the day.

Worth asking about in Adelaide

  • Your inverter needs a reliable internet connection to export freely. Check your Wi-Fi reaches where the inverter will go, or ask the installer about a wired connection.
  • In a unit or townhouse? Solar and batteries on common property need your owners corporation's or strata company's agreement. Ask installers what they need from you to support the request.
  • Close to the beach? Ask whether the panels, inverter and mounting are suitable for salt air, and check the manufacturer's warranty conditions for coastal sites.
  • Older homes may need switchboard work before solar or a battery can be connected. Ask each installer whether their quote includes it.
  • All electrical work must be done by a licensed electrician. Ask for the installer's licence and accreditation details with the quote.

Frequently asked questions

Who approves solar connections in Adelaide?

SA Power Networks, which works with your installer on the connection. The system must meet the SA Government's dynamic export requirements.

How much solar can I export in Adelaide?

Up to 10 kW per phase with Flexible Exports and an internet-connected inverter, adjusted to what the network can take, or a fixed 1.5 kW per phase (0 kW in some areas).

Is there a solar or battery rebate in Adelaide?

The incentives are federal: certificates under the Small-scale Renewable Energy Scheme reduce the price of solar, and the Cheaper Home Batteries Program discounts eligible batteries. There's no South Australian solar panel rebate for households.

What happens to my exports if the internet drops out?

With SA Power Networks' Flexible Exports, your solar exports ramp down to 1.5 kW until the internet connection comes back. Your solar keeps powering your home as normal.
