Anyone have any handy tips for solar companies in Adelaide? Thanks in Advance We've gone with greenlife solar (on Payneham rd). Matt is really knowledgeable and really easy to talk to. He doesn't do cheap systems. Using my LG-G4 to bring you this update. Re: Building the Cleo two story with Simonds SA - Lock up 590Feb 12, 2016 9:45 pm Can I ask how much it's cost you around about? How many panels you've gone with? If there is a credit does it accumulate or just credit your electricity account? I'm completely clueless but know it's something we need now in such a big house! Will defiantly look into retailer discounts whilst we organise solar!

The upcoming battery issue may change that but its hard to tell at this stage. As for price that comes down to quality of panels, inverter and most importantly the skill of the tradies. We've gone with a 5kW system which should cover the running of our underfloor heating. Using my LG-G4 to bring you this update.
