In Tea Tree Gully (SA), successful solar system upgrades jobs start with a site assessment: roof condition, switchboard capacity, shading and SA Power Networks rules. About 5.5 peak sun hours/day supports strong yield. Hot, dry summers and occasional severe weather mean mounting and inverter placement deserve scrutiny. Get a site assessment of the existing array before accepting an “add more panels” price.
SA Power Networks requires pre-approval before install on most residential jobs. Single-phase export is commonly discussed around a 10kW export ceiling historically — confirm the current rule for your NMI/street. For Tea Tree Gully specifically, ask whether export limits or pre-approval will delay energisation. A quote that ignores the DNSP is incomplete.
STCs apply. SA’s Home Battery Scheme (loan-style support context) can influence battery timing. Indicative 6.6kW after STC often $4,800–$7,000 in competitive quotes. Plan around STC Zone 3 unless your postcode calculator says otherwise (as-of 2026-08-05). Home Battery Scheme — subsidised loans for batteries via Plenti/OurSolar.
Solar still stacks up when you use power at home during the day or add a battery. Treat unlimited export assumptions as a red flag on any Adelaide quote. With about 5.5 peak sun hours/day in the Adelaide climate reference, generation potential is solid when the roof cooperates.

Shortlist CEC-accredited businesses that already install in Tea Tree Gully and nearby suburbs such as Salisbury, Marion, Morphett Vale. Require product models, warranty terms, STC/battery subsidy line items, and DNSP responsibilities in writing.
Confirm roof condition, shading, switchboard capacity, phase supply and SA Power Networks export expectations before you compare dollars-per-watt. Adelaide sun is excellent; SA Power Networks export rules punish oversized export designs.
Greater Adelaide planning often uses ~5.5 peak sun hours/day. A 6.6kW north-facing array may produce around 36.3 kWh/day before losses — refine with a site visit.
