Common questions

Quick answers before you reach out.

What's the difference between solar panels, an inverter, and a battery?

Panels generate electricity from sunlight. The inverter converts that into usable power for your home and grid export. A battery stores any extra power so you can use it after dark instead of selling it back cheaply. Most homes start with panels and an inverter, then add a battery later if it makes sense.

Are Bright Earth Solar's installers licensed solar electricians?

Yes. Every installer is a fully licensed electrician, and we're a SAA accredited solar retailer, which means our systems qualify for government rebates and meet the industry's safety standards. We're also an in-house team, not subcontractors, so the person quoting you is connected to the person on your roof.

Do you only do solar, or can you help with EV chargers and smart home tech too?

Solar is the core of what we do, but we also install EV chargers, home automation, and energy-efficient LED lighting, all designed to work alongside your solar system rather than as separate, disconnected products.

What makes Bright Earth Solar one of the best solar companies in Adelaide?

We're SA owned and operated, fully in-house with no subcontractors, and a Sigenergy Excellent Installer of the Year award winner. Add 100+ five-star reviews and 15+ years in business, and the short version is: real people, real accountability, and a system we'd actually put on our own roof. If you're comparing solar installers near you, that track record is what to look for.

How much do solar panels and a solar battery cost in Adelaide?

It depends on system size, your roof, and whether you add a battery. Solar battery prices in Adelaide vary by brand and storage capacity, which is why we price based on your actual electricity usage rather than a flat number, and the quote is free with no obligation. Finance options are also available from $0 deposit.

Do you offer solar repairs and maintenance near me, not just new installations?

Yes. Alongside new installations, we offer solar panel repairs and maintenance across Adelaide, so if your system was installed by someone else and isn't performing the way it should, get in touch and we'll take a look.

Which is right for me: residential or commercial solar?

If you're quoting for a home, residential solar is the right starting point. If you're quoting for a business, office, retail space, or strata property, commercial solar covers higher-capacity systems and different compliance requirements. Not sure which applies? Just call, we'll point you the right way.

Do I need to be home during the installation?

Not necessarily, as long as we have clear access to the roof, meter box, and any internal areas the job needs. Many customers are at work during installation day. We'll confirm exactly what access is needed before the day so there are no surprises.
