Power prices are up across the country. But judging by the cost of power in Adelaide and SA, they have been ‘up’ for some time. Did you know that South Australia pays more for power than any other state? In fact, the average energy bill in Adelaide is $1584 a year! Depending on who you energy plan is with, you could be spending up to $0.35/kWh for power. Whereas other states are paying less than $0.25/kwh. Is solar worth it in Adelaide? More than any other state! Look at this breakdown of how much more you can be expected to save on power in Adelaide, SA:
| System Size (kW) | Production (kWh) | Yearly Savings ($0.25/kWh) | Yearly Savings ($0.35/kWh) |
| 1.5 | 6.3 | $620.87 | $804.83 |
| 3 | 12.6 | $1,241.73 | $1,609.65 |
| 5 | 21 | $2,069.55 | $2,682.75 |
| 6.6 | 27.72 | $2,731.81 | $3,541.23 |
| 10 | 42 | $4,139.10 | $5,365.50 |
As you can see a 10kW solar system in Adelaide will save you almost 30% more than if you were to install that very same system in other states. This is not to mention the various rebates on offer that can reduce the price of solar, or the No Interest, No Deposit plans that can help you pay off the remaining cost over time.
Adelaide has a number of incentives, rebates available for homeowners which is good news given that SA homeowners are charged more for power than almost anywhere else in the world. Each program has different eligibility criteria so it’s important to understand what you are qualified for, but at Nectr, we have qualified staff on board to assist you to get access and reduce the price of solar.
The federal incentive, otherwise known as the Small scale technology certificate program awards certificates to installers when they install a solar system. Power companies are legally required to buy these certificates at the market rate, the funds are then given to the installer. This reduced cost is then passed on to the homeowner. How much can you save?
The City of Adelaide Sustainability Incentives Scheme is a council-funded program to additionally reduce the cost of solar. This program ends in June of 2021. The amount your receive is dependent on the size of your system. The ranges between each rebate amount is quite large, meaning most homeowners will receive the smallest amount. The amount provided to homeowners is below:
The South Australian government offers a very generous home battery rebate awarded to homeowners who install solar batteries. Currently, homeowners can receive up to $300/kWh. For example, a Tesla Powerwall is a 13.5kWh battery. If you installed a Tesla Powerwall, you would receive $4050 off the price of solar. Most solar batteries available in Adelaide cost up to $1000/kWh, which means this rebate can reduce the cost by 30%. Not bad!
The REES is not in fact a direct solar rebate but helps to alleviate some of the costs of installing solar, or solar hot water by paying for some of the maintenance costs. You can receive:
As well as that you can also receive up to $500 to install a hot water timer switch, which in turn will reduce your overall electricity bill.
To properly size your system, we conduct a no-obligation in-home appointment in which our SA based energy experts will be able to size up your roof, assess your bill size, and energy usage profile to determine what your home needs to make the most of solar power. That being said to help guide you through your solar journey we have put together a quick and easy rule of thumb to help you assess your solar requirements.

Our motto is, “If you can afford your power bill, you can afford solar!”. What does that mean? Unlike a new car or new TV, solar is an investment designed to give you a return from Day 1. Once panels are on your roof and the system is switched on, your home stops buying power from the grid. The less you buy, the less you spend. That means your bills are going to look a lot less bulky!
Most homeowners choose to finance their system, paying it off week by week. All this is to say; most homeowners save MORE or equal to the amount they spend to finance the system. So it costs next to nothing out of pocket to get started, and within 3-5 years, you will have paid the system off entirely. So no matter your budget, everyone can reduce their bills to pay for their solar! It’s a no brainer.
