The short answer

NG Elec designs and installs solar, battery backup and off-grid systems for Adelaide Hills homes, farms and businesses. We size for cooler, cloudier winters, use optimisers under shady gums, plan battery placement with bushfire risk in mind, and handle SA Power Networks approvals. Every quote is free and itemised, with a lifetime workmanship warranty.

Local knowledge

Solar in the Hills is a different job

Hills properties sit on longer lines and among big trees, so outages in storms are a fact of life. A battery with backup keeps the fridge, lights and water pump going when the grid drops, and that matters more here than on the plains.

Tall gums and steep, south-facing slopes cut sun hours, and winter in the Hills is cooler and greyer than in Adelaide. We map shade, use Tigo optimisers where they help, and size systems for winter rather than a sunny average. Leaf litter and pollen also build up faster under trees, so panels need a clean more often.

Much of the Hills is bushfire-prone. We place batteries and inverters to the relevant Australian standards and talk you through the safest spot on your property. Further out, some properties go fully off-grid. We've built off-grid systems around Kangarilla, and we're Selectronic accredited integrators.

FAQ

Questions people ask us.

Do you service the whole Adelaide Hills?

Yes, including Stirling, Aldgate, Crafers, Bridgewater, Hahndorf, Woodside, Lobethal, Gumeracha, Uraidla, Meadows and Kangarilla. Our Hackham base is about 30 to 50 minutes from most towns.

Will a battery keep my power on during an outage?

Yes, if it's set up for backup. We can back up essential circuits like the fridge, lights and water pump, or the whole home, and we'll explain exactly what's covered before you sign.

Is solar worth it under big trees?

Often, yes. We map the shade through the day and use Tigo optimisers so one shaded panel doesn't pull the rest down. If shade is too heavy, we'll tell you straight.

Can you install a battery in a bushfire area?

Yes. We follow the Australian battery install standards on where it can go, and we'll talk you through the safest spot on your property.

Should I go off-grid or stay connected?

It depends on how far you are from the grid and what connection would cost. Most Hills homes are better staying connected with a battery, but for new sheds and remote blocks, off-grid can make more sense. Our off-grid guide covers the trade-offs.

Who handles the approvals?

We do. NG Elec handles the SA Power Networks connection application and export limits, and we'll flag if anything needs council approval.
