Solar Panels Adelaide – Solar Power Information For Adelaide Residents
Solar Panels Adelaide - Feed in Tariff South Australia Update 1 February 2012. ESCOSA has announced the new premium for S.A.feed in Tariff (FIT). In addition to the ETSA Utilities required payment of 16cents/kwh payed currently for solar electricity fed back to the grid, S.A. electricity retailers are now obliged to pay a minimum of 7.1 cents/kwh until 30 June 2012, (making the current feed in tariff 16cents + 7.1cents = 23.1cents minimum) then 9.8 cents/kwh until 30 June 2013 and then 11.2 cents/kwh until 30 June 2014. We view this as good news and continues to make installing solar power in Adelaide and South Australia a worthwhile proposition.
Remember that the Federal Government Solar Credits scheme, which subsidises the up front cost of a solar power system will drop from July 2012, meaning the cost of installing solar power in your home will increase from that date. Solar Panels In Adelaide are, in our opinion, an excellent proposition for Adelaide homeowners because of the two, State and Federal Government rebates and subsidies.

Solar System Pricing and Considerations. The solar power and renewable energy industry in Adelaide is very competitive and it pays to do your research before committing to a particular solar installer. Many solar power companies in Adelaide offer 3 “tiers” of solar power systems , trying to match their customers solar energy needs in terms of product, quality and specification with their price expectation. The Adelaide solar power market is dominated with solar panels and inverters from China (around 70%), the balance coming from Japan, Europe and elsewhere -even Australia -Silex solar panels are are made here! Premium solar panels include brands like Conergy, Kyocera,Sharp etc. There are a myriad of Chinese panels on the market of varying quality. Some Chinese solar panels like Suntech, developed at the University of NSW (see Suntech solar panel review video) ,CEEG and the likes are manufactured in China and are the equal of their more expensive counterparts in terms of efficiency, construction and warranty – most solar panels offer 5 year mechanical warranty and 25 electrical warranty (meaning the manufacturers warrant the panels to output 80% of their electrical output after 25 years). Other Chinese panels are relatively ‘untested’ in terms of quality. The better panels are made 100% in house, rather than many low cost solar panel companies which simply assemble components from an array of suppliers . This may result in less dependable quality.

Solar Inverters.This is an electronic device that converts the D.C. electricity produced by your solar panels, into A.C. electricity which is used in your home and any excess fed back onto the electricity grid for which you are paid at the solar feed in tariff rate discussed above. Your Adelaide solar installer will generally install the inverter near your power board.Considering that your Solar electricity system should produce power for 25+ years, if you can, it may be sensible to pay a little more and request premium quality components from your Adelaide solar installer As an estimate, for a small 1.5KW solar power system you may pay $1000-$1500 more for a ‘premium system’ and around $3000 more for a premium 3KW solar power system. Amortise this additional cost over 10 or 20 years and its worth considering if you can afford the initial extra cost. Premium inverter brands include SMA (from Germany), Eaton (Taiwan) . There are literally dozens of Chinese inverters available. Some are good. Other have had a very high failure rate .

We had a request from an Adelaide resident considering solar power for their home to take a look at Sunpower brand solar panels, which are one of the highest efficiency solar panels used in Adelaide solar power installations:
Solar Power Adelaide – SUNPOWER AC Solar Panels Review:
-
SUNPOWER AC solar panels are produced using high efficiency SUNPOWER cells of 18% and 19%. The two models of solar panels produced are the E18 Module of 225 Watt and the E19 Module of 240 Watt.
-
SUNPOWER AC Solar panels come with an integrated micro inverter attached to the back of the panel. The DC power generated by the solar cells is converted into AC power at each panel level. Since each micro inverter has an MPPT in built, it helps in maximizing the energy output from each panel before feeding it to the grid.
-
By using SUNPOWER AC solar panels, it is possible to do detailed energy monitoring of each individual panel.
-
Beneficial for Home owners which have a high shadowed area as individual panel works independently for improved harvesting.This can be an issue for many Adelaide homeowners considering solar power, but have issues with trees casting shade onto their roof, so this could be an option in such circumstances.
