Still here. Still local. Still doing what we love.

Thank you South Australia.

Adam Solar is recognised among South Australia’s Top 3 Solar Installers for 2026. ☀️

We’re grateful to once again be recognised by SolarQuotes this year as one of the three highest-rated solar installers in South Australia for 2026.

For us, what makes this recognition particularly meaningful is its consistency.

#1 in Adelaide — 2023
#1 in Adelaide — 2024
Top 3 in South Australia — 2026

These rankings are determined from customer reviews published online, with companies across South Australia considered in the assessment.

Since 2011, our focus has remained much the same: give people good advice and service, deliver quality workmanship, and be there for our customers for many years after the job is finished.

To continue being recognised among South Australia’s leading installers after 16 years in the industry is something our entire team can be proud of.

Most importantly, thank you to our customers. Your reviews, recommendations, repeat business and trust are what make recognition like this possible.

And thank you to our team, from the people answering the phones and designing systems, to those on roofs and installing batteries every day.

The Hon Chris Bowen MP, Minister for Climate Change and Energy, outlining the updated Federal Home Battery Scheme and the anticipated changes to the rebate structure.

13/12/2025

Here’s a clear, up-to-date outline of the newly updated Federal Home Battery Scheme as articulated by The Hon Chris Bowen, Minister for Climate Change and Energy, including expected adjustments to the rebate and what this means for households and small businesses.

1. What the Scheme Is

The Cheaper Home Batteries Program (often called the federal battery rebate) is a nationwide initiative to subsidise residential and small-business battery installations, making home energy storage more affordable alongside rooftop solar. It originally offered a roughly 30% discount on battery costs under a $2.3 billion budget over four years. 

2. Major Policy Update Announced by Chris Bowen

Chris Bowen has unveiled a significant overhaul in response to overwhelming uptake and budget strain:

Budget Expansion
• The government is boosting funding dramatically, expanding the program from its original **$2.3 billion to about $7.2 billion over four years. 

Why the Change?
• The original budget was being consumed far faster than expected due to strong demand — with thousands of installations occurring rapidly — meaning the scheme risked exhausting funds prematurely. 

3. Rebate Adjustments & How They Work

Rather than a flat rebate, the updated policy will introduce tiered adjustments based on battery size, starting May 1, 2026:

Tiered Subsidy Rates
• Up to ~14 kWh: full rebate at the original support level (~30% discount).
• 14 kWh – 28 kWh: partial support (~60% of original rate).
• 28 kWh – 50 kWh: smaller support (~15% of original rate).

The first 50 kWh of system capacity remains eligible, but the effective rebate per kWh is reduced for larger installations so that funding goes further and more households can benefit. 

4. Who Can Benefit
• Households and small businesses installing new or additional batteries alongside rooftop solar are eligible.
• Batteries must be within the scheme’s capacity range (5 kWh to 100 kWh total, but with rebate benefit on the first 50 kWh).
• The rebate is applied as an upfront discount at installation — installers claim the rebate and reduce your price accordingly. 

5. Expected Outcomes

According to the government’s outline:
• The expanded program is expected to help more than 2 million Australian homes and small businesses install batteries by 2030. 
• The staged rebate model is designed to spread benefits more widely and support smaller, “right-sized” systems rather than heavily subsidising oversized systems that consume more of the budget. 

6. Why These Changes Matter

Ensures the scheme remains financially sustainable and doesn’t run out early

Encourages broader participation across different household sizes

Balances government support with industry stability and planning

Aligns the rebate structure with long-term clean energy goals, including building distributed storage capacity nationwide

Key Quote (Paraphrased from Minister Bowen)

“We want more Aussie households to have access to batteries that are good for bills and good for the grid… while making sure the program is sustainable and equitable so funding benefits as many people as possible.”

Adam Solar – Proudly Representing South Australia in the Financial Review Energy Awards

Out of more than 300 nominees nationally, Adam Solar is honoured to be recognised at this year’s Financial Review Energy Awards.

For over 15 years, Adam Solar has been at the forefront of South Australia’s clean energy transformation, delivering premium solar and battery solutions to both residential and commercial clients. Founded and led by Adam Karroum, our business has built a reputation for excellence, trust, and long-term commitment to customers, treating every project as if it were our own home or business.

Why Adam Solar Stands Out
• Proven Track Record: With thousands of systems successfully installed across Adelaide and regional South Australia, our projects range from small family homes to large-scale commercial sites, shopping centres, airports, and government facilities.
• Customer-First Approach: We pride ourselves on genuine relationships, ensuring our clients receive not only cutting-edge technology but also ongoing after-sales support.
• Innovation in Energy: Adam Solar is one of the first local installers to integrate Virtual Power Plants (VPPs) such as Amber SmartShift, Tesla VPP, and emerging platforms, allowing customers to monetise their solar-battery investment.
• Maximising Rebates & ROI: We have helped our customers secure millions in Federal and State rebates, delivering affordable energy independence while strengthening South Australia’s grid resilience.
• Sustainability Impact: Collectively, our systems generate and store tens of gigawatt-hours of clean energy annually, reducing reliance on fossil fuels and cutting carbon emissions for generations to come.

Our Mission

At Adam Solar, we believe renewable energy is not just about panels and batteries, it’s about empowering households and businesses with financial savings, energy independence, and the knowledge that their investment contributes to a more sustainable future.

To be recognised among the nation’s top energy innovators is a testament to our team’s dedication, expertise, and passion for creating lasting impact in our community.

Adam Solar – Leading South Australia’s renewable future, from homes to airports, shopping centres, and government projects.

Congratulations Adam Solar on winning a SunWiz Top Solar Company Award in 2025.

Congratulations on being in the Best Rated Solar Companies in all Australia!!! Of the more than 4000 solar businesses in Australia, Adam Solar rated in the Top 50 for number of highly favourable customer reviews. This makes Adam Solar a 2025 Top 50 Best Rated Retailer, which is even better than your result in 2024. Very few companies manage to receive such glowing endorsement from so many customers.

SunWiz is Australia's pre-eminent market analyst, and has been awarding the leading solar companies since 2015. Our awards are open to everyone, are 100% objective & unbiased, and prestigious. As part of our Best Rated solar company award, SunWiz gathers every solar company's customer reviews from the five most-used review sites. It isn't difficult to achieve a 5-star average from a handful of reviews; it is harder to maintain such high customer satisfaction in every review. Best Rated solar companies achieved a weighted-average rating above 4.8 stars from at least 50 reviews in 2024.

Once again, congratulations Adam Solar on being a SunWiz Top Solar Company Award Winner for 2025. We wish you the greatest success again this year! https://hubs.li/Q03qkVzZ0 Adam Solar Pty Ltd Smart Energy Council
