Solar panels
Mounted on your roof using a racking system designed for your roof type. Panel power ratings typically range from 370W to 450W each, converting sunlight into direct current electricity.
Inverter systems
String, micro-inverter or hybrid inverters convert DC to AC and manage how electricity flows between your panels, home and the grid.
Battery storage
Optional battery storage captures excess solar energy for use after dark, with typical capacities ranging from 5kWh to 13.5kWh paired with residential systems.
EV chargers
EV chargers can be wired into the switchboard, drawing from solar generation or stored battery power to charge vehicles sustainably.

Frequently asked questions — solar west lakes
A typical 10kW system in coastal western Adelaide produces approximately 41 to 46kWh per day, or roughly 15,000 to 16,000kWh per year. Output depends on roof orientation, shading and seasonal variations.
The average payback period for solar systems in West Lakes is 8.2 years. Payback depends on system size, component quality, roof orientation, household energy use and local electricity tariffs. Many homeowners see payback in 4 to 6 years with optimal conditions.
Battery storage makes financial sense in West Lakes because feed-in tariffs (5-12 cents per kWh) are much lower than grid electricity costs (35-45 cents per kWh). Storage lets you use more of your own solar for evening loads, significantly improving savings.
West Lakes residents can receive up to $6,000 in combined rebates. A 6.6kW system qualifies for an $1,800 federal rebate through the Small-scale Renewable Energy Scheme. Check current incentives before committing, as programs change over time.
