A solar plan that starts with your home.

Match generation to the way you use electricity

Start with recent electricity bills and, where available, interval usage. Daytime consumption, evening demand and your tariff help explain how much solar you may use directly and how much may be exported.

Consider future changes such as an electric vehicle, heat-pump hot water or working from home. These change the assessment; they do not automatically mean a larger system is the best choice.

Check the property before choosing equipment

Roof space, orientation, shading, roof condition, electrical phase and switchboard capacity affect the design. Grid connection and export arrangements also need checking for the actual property.

• Bring any existing inverter and panel details to the assessment.
• Confirm the installation address is within our service area, within 60 km of Adelaide.
• Tell us about planned renovations or changes in electricity demand.

Consider solar and storage together

A new solar and battery system can be assessed as one design. If you already have solar, the existing inverter and generation profile influence the available battery approach. Compatibility must be checked against the actual equipment.

A battery shifts available energy to a later time. Savings depend on generation, usage, tariffs, exports and system costs. Backup operation requires suitable equipment and an appropriate electrical design.

Compare a clear scope

A useful quote should identify the proposed equipment, installation work, inclusions and exclusions, relevant warranty documents and any conditions affecting the price. Ask how expected performance was estimated and which assumptions were used.

Sunlands Solar can assess your home and prepare a tailored recommendation. The first enquiry does not require an electricity bill; you may add one and more detail after saving your website enquiry.
