Installed Solar Panel Systems Pricing Matrix – Adelaide: October 2017
We took a look at current trends in solar system pricing being offered by Adelaide solar installers this month. It appears that pricing is fairly stable (looking back to March 2017), with, again, most of the price competition being in the 5kW solar system size. Many […]
Again, we did our monthly round up of installed solar system pricing from 1.5 Kwatt to 5 Kwatt from several Adelaide solar power installers. Note – as discussed above, price is dependent on system component quality, warranty, supplier margins etc. There are many variables and this is only an indicative guide to prices we were […]
10 December 2016. Another year draws to a close and the Adelaide solar panel installation industry has seen probably the greatest amount of change this year compared to the last few years. The biggest ‘game changer’ has certainly been the remarkable level of interest shown by South Australians in embracing solar battery storage technology. It […]
Price Paradigms For Solar – November 2016
Remarkably, the price pressure on solar installations in Adelaide remains in a downward trajectory. This is surprising given the relative weakness of the Australian dollar. Solar panels and inverters are generally quoted by the manufacturers in US dollars at the importer / wholesaler level, so any weakening of the […]
Solar Battery Storage For Solar Panels Systems
As we have previously discussed, the emergency of an efficient way of storing ‘excess’ solar energy produced by a solar panels systems has been the ‘missing’
ingredient in recent years, in terms of allowing Adelaide home owners to become relatively energy ‘self sufficient’. This would, in most instances, mean still […]
12 August 2016. ESCOSA yesterday released a draft proposal that recommends that the current 6.8c/kWh minimum solar feed in tariff would no longer be set from 1 January 2017. Their ‘reasoning’ behind this statement is interesting. They state:
“The Commission’s proposal is based on its view that the market structures that facilitate electricity retail competition are sound and […]
All eyes have been on the future direction of solar power and renewable energy as policies are rolled out in the forthcoming Federal election, which is just days away. How all this will impact the Adelaide solar panels industry and the future of rooftop solar in South Australia remains to be seen, but the signs […]
As previously discussed, solar energy storage and in particular the growth in sophisticated solar battery storage units designed to work with residential solar systems remains the area of the solar industry that is attracting the most enquiries and interest. It seems that the federal government sees value and a future for solar battery technology and […]
With a pending federal government election likely in the next few months we will be watching with considerable interest to see how the solar industry in Adelaide and Australia more generally will be impacted. The announcement that the future of the Clean Energy Finance Corporation seems assured and that the Turnbull government has announced today a […]
The market for solar system installations in Adelaide in January and February (to date) 2016 has been fairly flat and the competition amongst solar installers in Adelaide remains very strong. The decline of the Australian dollar means that solar system prices has risen marginally as the cost of solar panels and inverters has increased due […]
