Solar in SA cities

Each city page carries the Clean Energy Regulator’s install figures for its postcodes, the state add-on line, the best feed-in rate and what to check on local roofs.

Higher power prices, bigger solar savings

SA's electricity costs are 30 to 50% higher than other states. Every kWh your panels cover is a kWh you don't buy at those prices, which is why solar delivers the biggest savings in Australia here.
