Solar panel installation in Clare and the Clare Valley

Made for the valley

Solar that suits Clare Valley properties

The Clare Valley is a working farming and wine region before it is anything else, and the properties reflect that. In and around Clare there are solid stone homes on generous blocks, newer builds on the edges of town, and then, out through Sevenhill, Watervale, Penwortham, Armagh and Stanley Flat, the vineyards, sheds, cellar doors and grazing country that make up most of the valley. Rural properties here commonly run three phase, feed bores and pumps, and carry loads a suburban system would never see. Sizing for that properly is the difference between a system that covers the place and one that disappoints.

The valley sits higher and cooler than the plains either side of it, which is exactly what makes the riesling work, and it suits solar too. Panels run more efficiently at moderate temperatures, and the Clare Valley gets a strong, consistent run of clear days across the year. Combined with what grid power costs out here, and the fact that many properties sit at the end of a long rural line where reliability is not guaranteed, a well designed system earns its keep quickly. Add the federal Cheaper Home Batteries rebate, now live and taking roughly 30 per cent off storage, and keeping your own power through the evening makes more sense than it ever has.

Distance is the thing most solar companies get wrong up here. Plenty will quote the job, install it, and then treat a service call as a day they would rather not spend. We operate across regional South Australia by design, with our main base at Gawler Belt and an office at Port Pirie, so the Clare Valley sits comfortably inside the area we cover properly rather than at the far edge of somebody else's map.
