Most homes end up with three different contractors for solar, storage and car charging, and three sets of warranties that point at each other when something fails. We install solar battery and EV charger Adelaide wide as a single system, designed together and fitted by our own SAA-accredited electricians.
Tier 1 panels, inverters and storage from manufacturers that still answer the phone in ten years. The exact brand on your quote depends on your roof, your load and what is in stock, and it is named on the quote rather than left vague.
Three separate services, quoted and installed by the same team. You can take one, two or all three, and the system is designed so adding the next one later does not mean undoing the last. A solar battery and EV charger Adelaide install is usually staged this way rather than done all at once, and staging it only works if the first stage was wired with the next one in mind.
Systems are sized off your actual electricity bill and your roof, not off a package price. We look at how much you use after dark, which direction your roof faces, what shading you get through the day, and whether your switchboard and main fuse can take the inverter before anything is quoted.
Every system we install is wired battery-ready, even when you are not adding storage now. Retrofitting a battery to a system that was not planned for one is where most of the unexpected cost appears later.
Feed-in tariffs in South Australia have fallen to a few cents, so exporting your daytime surplus is no longer where the value sits. Storing it and using it through the evening peak is. The question is not whether a battery works, it is how many kilowatt-hours you actually use between sunset and bedtime.
We size storage around that evening load. An oversized battery you never empty is money sitting on a wall, and an undersized one sends you back to the grid at the worst time of day.
A wall charger is an electrical job before it is an EV job. It needs a dedicated circuit, the right cable run and protection, and a switchboard with the spare capacity to carry it alongside everything else in the house. That is the part a general handyman cannot sign off, and the part our licensed electricians do every week.
If you already have solar, the charger should know about it. A solar-aware charger can hold off until your panels are producing surplus and then charge the car on that surplus rather than on grid power, which is the difference between charging cheaply and charging at peak rates.
Charger make and model are confirmed at the site visit, once we have seen your switchboard, your supply and how far the run is to where you park.
These three jobs all terminate at the same switchboard. Splitting them across contractors is where capacity clashes, mismatched protection and warranty arguments come from, and it is the most common reason a solar battery and EV charger Adelaide project costs more than it needed to.
Panels, inverter, battery and charger are specified against the same switchboard and the same supply. Nothing is sized in isolation and found to clash on install day.
When three contractors do three jobs, a fault becomes an argument about whose fault it is. One installer means one number to call.
Rebate claims, the grid application with SA Power Networks and the electrical certificate are handled together rather than chased separately.
We look at the roof, the board and the parking space in the same site visit, then give you a fixed price within 48 hours.
We look at the roof, the switchboard, your bill and where you park. No obligation and no charge.
One price, rebates already applied, with the equipment named. Not a range and not an estimate.
We lodge the grid application and the rebate paperwork so you are not chasing forms.
Our own electricians install it, test it, and walk you through the monitoring before leaving.

We are based in the northern suburbs and cover solar battery and EV charger Adelaide wide, from the metro area out to the surrounding regions. If your suburb is not listed, call and ask, we most likely cover it.
Yes, and it is the cheaper way to do it. One site visit, one switchboard assessment and one install means you are not paying twice for access, scaffolding or board work. It also means the inverter, battery and charger are specified to work together rather than being bolted on afterwards.
No. An EV charger is a standalone electrical installation and we fit them to homes with no solar at all. Having solar changes what the charger can do, because a solar-aware charger can wait for surplus generation and charge the car on that instead of grid power, but it is not a requirement.
That is exactly what we check at the site visit. Many older Adelaide homes have boards without the spare capacity or the protection a dedicated charger circuit needs. Where the supply will not carry full charger output alongside everything else, load management can be fitted so the charger backs off instead of tripping the house.
In most cases yes, regardless of which brand of inverter is on the wall. We check the existing system first, because the answer depends on the inverter, the age of the install and how the original was wired. Some systems take a battery cleanly and some need an additional inverter.
Yes. The federal STC rebate for solar and the federal battery rebate are applied to your quote upfront, so the price you see is the price you pay rather than something you claim back later. We also lodge the connection application with SA Power Networks.
A typical home solar install is a single day. Adding a battery usually extends it into a second day. An EV charger on its own is normally a half-day job, depending on how far the cable has to run from the switchboard to where you park. A full solar battery and EV charger Adelaide install done in one go is normally two days on site.
No. The people who quote the job are the people who install it. That matters most when something needs to be checked years later, because the person who comes back already knows how your system was wired.

Peace Electrical & Solar, SAA-accredited solar and battery installers and licensed electricians. Rebate levels and feed-in tariffs change, so figures quoted on this site name the year they apply to. Nothing on this page is a quote; your own roof, switchboard and usage are assessed at the free site visit.
