ABOUT HOME ELECTRIFICATION
A Smarter Way to Power Your Home
Home electrification is about making better use of efficient electric technology throughout your home — and powering more of it with energy generated from your own rooftop solar system.
By combining solar panels, a smart inverter, battery storage and heat pump hot water, you can create a more connected home energy system designed to reduce reliance on grid electricity and make better use of the solar energy you generate.
Adelaide West can help you explore a home energy solution that works around your household, your existing systems and your future energy needs.
Why Electrify Your Home?
Bringing your home energy systems together can help you use energy more efficiently, make greater use of rooftop solar and take more control over when and how your household uses electricity.
Maximise Solar
Make greater use of the clean electricity generated by your rooftop solar system
Reduce Grid Reliance
Use more energy generated at home and purchase less electricity from the grid
Efficient Hot Water
Combine solar generation with an energy efficient heat pump hot water system
Store Energy for Later
Add battery storage to save excess solar generation for use when you need it
Build the Right Energy System for Your Home
Solar Panels
Rooftop solar allows your home to generate clean electricity during daylight hours, helping reduce the amount of energy you need to purchase from the grid.
The right solar PV system can be designed around your household energy use, available roof space and future plans, including battery storage and home electrification.
-
Generate clean electricity at home
-
Reduce reliance on grid energy
-
Designed around your household needs
Solar Inverters
Your inverter plays a central role in your solar PV system, converting the electricity generated by your solar panels into electricity that can be used throughout your home.
The right inverter can also help manage the interaction between solar generation, household consumption and compatible battery storage, creating the foundation for a more connected home energy system.
-
Convert solar generation for household use
-
Monitor system performance
-
Integrate solar and compatible battery storage
Battery Storage
A home battery allows you to store excess solar energy instead of immediately sending it back to the grid.
That stored energy can then be available when solar generation is lower, such as later in the day or overnight, helping your household make greater use of the electricity produced by your solar panels.
-
Store excess solar generation
-
Use more of your own energy
-
Reduce reliance on grid electricity
How Home Electrification in Adelaide Works
01
Generate
Solar panels capture energy from sunlight and generate electricity during the day for use throughout your home.
02
Manage
Your inverter converts the electricity generated by your solar panels and helps manage energy through your system.
03
Store
Excess solar generation can be stored in a home battery, allowing more of your generated energy to be available later.
04
Use
Use the electricity stored at your home to power appliances such as energy efficient heat pumps.
SOLAR + HOT WATER
Make More of Your Solar With Heat Pump Hot Water
Installing solar isn’t only about generating electricity — it’s also about finding smart ways to use that energy around your home.
Heat pump hot water systems use electricity to efficiently heat and store hot water. Where the system and household setup allow, operating a heat pump during solar-generating periods can help make greater use of electricity produced by your rooftop solar system.
By considering solar PV and hot water together, you can build a more integrated approach to household energy rather than treating them as completely separate systems.
Generate Your Own Energy
Use rooftop solar to generate electricity during daylight hours.
Heat Water Efficiently
Heat pump technology provides an efficient electric alternative for household hot water.
Make Better Use of Solar
Running suitable household loads during solar-generating periods can increase your use of energy generated at home.
Build for the Future
Solar, battery storage and efficient electric appliances can form part of a broader home electrification strategy.
Frequently Asked Questions About Home Electrification
What is home electrification?
Home electrification involves using efficient electric technologies for more of your household energy needs. This can include rooftop solar, battery storage, heat pump hot water and other electric appliances working as part of a broader home energy strategy.
Do I need to install solar, a battery and a heat pump at the same time?
No. Home electrification can happen gradually. Your starting point will depend on what you already have, your household energy use and what you want to achieve.
Can I add a battery to an existing solar system?
In many cases, yes. Whether a battery can be added and what equipment is required will depend on your existing solar system, inverter and the battery solution being considered.
Can a heat pump hot water system use solar power?
A heat pump uses electricity, so electricity generated by your rooftop solar system can contribute to its operation when solar is being generated and household conditions allow. System configuration and operating schedules can help households make greater use of daytime solar generation.
Do I need a battery to benefit from solar?
No. A solar PV system can reduce the amount of grid electricity your household purchases even without battery storage. A battery provides another option by allowing excess solar generation to be stored for later use.
What size solar system or battery does my home need?
There isn’t one system size that’s right for every household. Electricity consumption, roof space, existing equipment, daytime energy use and future plans should all be considered when selecting a system.
Can I add solar or battery storage if I already have a heat pump?
Potentially, yes. An existing heat pump hot water system can form part of a broader home electrification setup alongside rooftop solar and battery storage.
