Every system we put in has a whole team behind it, from the people in the office getting the details right to the crew up on the roof making sure it's done properly.

It only works when everyone's pulling in the same direction, and we're pretty proud of the team we've got doing it.

Picking a solar company is a bigger call than it looks. You'll be relying on whoever you choose long after install day, so have a listen to what Paul had to say on FIVEAA before you sign anything.

Price is easy to line up side by side. What's harder to see on a quote is whether the business will still be around when you need them in a few years' time, and a warranty only counts if someone is there to honour it.

Reviews help fill in the gaps. Have a read on Google and SolarQuotes, and look at how a company responds when something hasn't gone to plan.

The question we'd put first, though, is who's actually going up on your roof. Our installs are done by our own full-time team and in-house electricians, and we think it shows in the finish.

Got quotes on the go? Bring them into the showroom on Torrens Road and we'll go through them with you.

Most people know Tesla for its Ev's. Fewer know it's also one of the biggest names in home batteries, with over a million Powerwalls installed worldwide and offices right here in South Australia.

Powerwall 3 is an all-in-one system with the inverter built in, so it can go in alongside the solar you've already got or be set up with new panels at the same time. That means one company to deal with and one warranty to keep track of.

Every install starts here. A fresh crate of panels gets cracked open, stacked and lined up so that when our team pulls up at your place in the morning, everything's ready to go.

It's the part of the job nobody sees, and it does a lot to make install day run smoothly.

Big thanks to GoodWe Australia and New Zealand for having our sales and install team in this afternoon. The gear changes fast, and it's good to see everyone so keen to stay across it.

Then the VR headsets came out, and there was a lot more friendly fire than anyone's willing to admit to.

If you've been on the fence about a battery, have a listen to what Paul had to say on FIVEAA , because the clock is ticking on the current rebate.

The federal Cheaper Home Battery Scheme takes a good chunk off the price of a home battery right now, and the amount it takes off drops at the end of December.

We saw what happened in the lead-up last year. Stock got tight and installers got busy, and we'd rather you weren't stuck in that queue this time around.

So if a battery is on your list, now is the time to start the conversation. You'll have room to get the right system sized for your home without rushing a decision in the last few weeks of the year.

Come and see us at the showroom, 314 Torrens Road, Croydon Park, and we'll walk you through what the rebate means for your home.

Ten years ago, on 28 September 2016, the whole of South Australia lost power.

A severe storm brought down transmission towers in the mid-north, and more than 850,000 properties went dark. Power came back over the following hours for most people. Some places waited more than two days.

The ABC marked the anniversary last week, and a decade on, the people who run and study the grid still don't agree on whether it's stronger or more fragile than it was.

None of that is in your hands. What happens at your own place is something you can plan for.

A home battery can keep your essentials running when the grid goes down, but only if it's set up for backup. That needs an optional gateway, and it's much easier to sort out before the install than in the dark.

Already got a battery and not sure if it's set up for backup? Ask us. Thinking about one? Come and see us at 314 Torrens Road, Croydon Park, and we'll talk you through what would stay on at your place.

Your next power bill is going to look pretty reasonable.

Mild weather, no aircon, heaters off, longer days. Spring bills are the softest ones you get all year, and that is exactly why almost nobody does anything about solar right now.

Then it is summer. The aircon has been running for weeks, the bill turns up, and suddenly it is urgent.

The catch is that a system you decide on in summer does nothing for you until it is actually on the roof and switched on. Quote, design, paperwork, grid approval, install. All of that has to happen first, and it happens at the time of year when everybody else has had the same thought at the same time.

Spring is the boring time to sort this out. It is also the sensible one.

Go and look at what your bill did between January and March last year. That is the number worth planning around, not the one turning up this month.

Are they really worth it??

This depends on when your house uses power. If someone's home through the day and the dishwasher and washing run while the sun's up, the panels are already covering most of it and a battery has less to do.

Most households don't run like that. Everyone's out until late afternoon, so a good chunk of what the panels make goes back to the grid, and the house buys power back in the evening once the sun's gone. A battery holds onto that daytime solar so you can use it at night.

Prices have also come down a long way over the past year. If you looked at batteries a while back and the numbers didn't stack up, it's worth having another look.

Bring a recent power bill into the showroom on Torrens Road and we'll work out where your home sits.
