Power prices are rising, and outdated or undersized solar systems are no longer cutting it. If your system is over 10 years old or under 5kW, it’s time to upgrade. Did you know today’s solar panels are twice as powerful as they were a decade ago? In 2012, a panel produced 240W—now, in 2025, they deliver 480W (with the same physical size)!

It’s Time to CRUSH Your Energy Bills:

🔹 C – Compare Your Home vs. an All-Electric Home
An all-electric home runs on solar and battery storage, eliminating gas expenses. Compare your home’s energy usage to a fully upgraded home and see how much you could save.

🔹 R – Review Your Bills
High power bills? With low feed-in tariffs, upgrading your solar system makes more financial sense than ever. A 5kW system that worked years ago may no longer meet today’s needs. Upgrading to 8kW+ allows you to maximize efficiency and connect to battery storage.

🔹 U – Understand Use & Upgrade Your Old System
If your system is 10, 15, or even 20+ years old, it’s underperforming compared to today’s power prices. Older panels degrade over time, reducing output. Upgrading means higher efficiency, better warranties, and future-proofing your energy savings.

🔹 S – Switch All Electric & Say Goodbye to Gas
Ditch gas and future-proof your home. New incentives—including STCs, Adelaide City Council, and Holdfast Bay Council rebates—make it more affordable than ever to install or upgrade solar. New battery technology also enhances efficiency and storage capacity.

🔹 H – Home Hacks for Maximum Savings
Optimize your system with battery storage, energy monitoring, and smart home tech to ensure you’re always using solar power efficiently. With today’s technology, you can power your air conditioner, heat water, and run electric appliances for free. Why aren’t you?

Why Upgrade Your Old Solar System?

If your solar panels are more than a few years old, you might be missing out. Did you know solar panel capacity has doubled in the last decade? In 2012, a typical panel produced 240W—now, in 2025, panels generate up to 480W. Upgrading means more power, better efficiency, and lower energy costs.

🔹 More Power, Same Roof Space – Upgrade a 5kW system to 10kW without needing extra roof area.
🔹 Battery-Ready – A new tech system sets you up for adding a battery in the future.
🔹 Government Rebates Available – STCs, Adelaide City Council, and Holdfast City Council incentives now favor system upgrades—even if your system is just two years old.

Don’t Have Solar? Now’s the Best Time to Install!

If you haven’t installed solar yet, you’re paying too much for power. New tech systems generate more energy, have longer warranties, and qualify for generous government incentives.

💡 STCs at an All-Time High – Now is the best time to invest! Reduced upfront costs make solar more affordable than ever.
💡 Combat Rising Energy Bills with Smart Solar – As electricity prices increase, solar ensures long-term savings. Store excess energy instead of selling it for as little as $0.04/kWh.
💡 Boost Home Value – Homes with solar sell faster and for more.
