What to check in Adelaide

Use these points before comparing quotes.

Rebate context: Federal solar STCs usually reduce the quoted solar price. No broad current state rebate is included here; check local, council, retailer, and VPP offers before signing.

Climate risk: Extreme heat can affect inverter performance, so equipment placement matters.

Roof design: Battery-ready design can be useful where evening energy costs are high.

Tariff check: High feed-in offers can be paired with higher usage rates, so compare the full plan.

Local quote checklist

  • Ask how the system behaves during high-price evening periods.
  • Review VPP terms carefully before joining.
  • Check installer after-sales support for battery systems.
  • Compare solar-only and solar-plus-battery payback separately.
