Solar Panels for Adelaide Homes
Solar panels give you the ability to generate clean electricity right from your own rooftop, helping reduce the amount of energy your household needs to purchase from the grid.
At Adelaide West, we take a considered approach to solar. Your system should be designed around how your household actually uses energy, taking into account your roof, electricity consumption and plans for future additions such as battery storage or heat pump hot water.
With quality solar panels and the right system design, rooftop solar can become the foundation of a smarter, more energy-efficient home.
Why Choose Solar Panels?
A well designed rooftop solar system can help you generate more of your own electricity, reduce your reliance on the grid and prepare your home for a more electrified future.

How Does Solar PV Work?
A solar PV system captures energy from sunlight and converts it into electricity that can be used throughout your home. Any electricity you don’t immediately use can be exported to the grid or, with a compatible battery system, stored for later.
01
Capture
Solar panels capture energy from sunlight and generate DC electricity during daylight hours, utilising natural and clean energy
02
Convert
Your inverter converts the electricity generated by your panels into electricity that can be used throughout your home.
03
Use
Your home uses the solar electricity being generated, reducing the amount of electricity you need to purchase from the grid.
04
Store
Excess solar generation can be stored in a compatible home battery for later use or exported back to the electricity grid.
Frequently Asked Questions About Solar Panels
How many solar panels does my home need?
The number of panels you need depends on your household electricity consumption, the output of the panels being installed, available roof space and the overall size of your solar PV system. Rather than choosing a system based on panel count alone, it is important to consider how much energy your household uses and what you want your solar system to achieve.
What size solar system should I install?
The right solar system size varies from home to home. Your electricity consumption, daytime energy use, available roof space and future plans — such as adding a battery or switching more household appliances to electricity — should all be considered when designing your system.
Do solar panels still work on cloudy days?
Yes. Solar panels can still generate electricity when conditions are cloudy, although their output will generally be lower than during periods of strong direct sunlight.
Can I add a battery to my solar system later?
In many cases, yes. If battery storage is something you may want in the future, it is worth considering this when your solar system and inverter are initially selected. This can help ensure your system is designed with future expansion in mind.
What's the difference between the AIKO NeoStar 2S+ and Jinko Tiger Neo 3?
Both are modern, high-performance solar panel options, but they use different technologies and have different specifications. Adelaide West can recommend the most appropriate option based on your roof, system design, energy requirements and budget.
Can solar panels power my heat pump hot water system?
A heat pump hot water system uses electricity, so electricity generated by your rooftop solar system can contribute to its operation. Where appropriate, scheduling a heat pump to operate during solar generating periods can help increase the amount of solar electricity used within your home.
