Solar Electrician Gawler & Barossa | Solar & Battery

The short answer

NG Elec installs home and farm solar, batteries and three phase power in Gawler and the Barossa, and does thermal drone inspections of existing arrays. In October 2026 our thermal drone found burnt, overheating cells on a Gawler commercial roof caused by built-up dirt, and the whole system needed replacing. Every quote is free and itemised.

Local knowledge

Town homes, vineyards and dusty rural roofs

Gawler mixes old stone and brick homes near the town centre with newer estates around Evanston and Hewett. Older homes often need a switchboard check before a battery, while newer builds are usually ready for solar from day one.

Out in the Barossa, plenty of properties sit on bigger blocks with sheds, pumps and workshops. Some already have three phase, others need it. We size solar and batteries for the whole property and can run power out to a shed as part of the job. See three phase upgrades.

Dust from paddocks, vineyards and gravel roads builds up on panels. Our Gawler thermal drone case study shows what happens when it's left: dirt overheated the cells and the whole commercial system needed replacing. Regular panel cleaning and checks would have caught it.

October 2026

Recent job in Gawler

We flew our thermal drone over a commercial array in Gawler. The images showed hot spots across the panels where dirt had built up, and up close the cells were burnt. The damage was too widespread to repair, so the whole system needed replacing. Read the full Gawler thermal inspection.

FAQ

Questions people ask us.

Do you service Gawler and the Barossa?

Yes. We cover Gawler, Evanston, Hewett, Willaston and the Barossa towns including Lyndoch, Tanunda, Nuriootpa and Angaston. Our crews travel from Hackham, so we book jobs in advance and plan travel into the quote.

Does dust from farms and vineyards hurt solar output?

It can. Dust and dirt cut output, and if it builds up enough, cells can overheat and burn, as on our Gawler commercial job. Regular cleaning and the odd thermal check help.

How much is a thermal drone inspection in Gawler?

Thermal inspections are normally $750. In hail season we also offer a home hail check for $149.

Can solar and a battery run my shed or workshop?

Yes. We can run sub-mains out to a shed, upgrade to three phase if your loads need it, and size solar and battery for the whole property.

Can you do solar for a winery or farm business?

Yes. We design commercial systems to match when the business uses power, such as daytime processing or cool rooms. See our commercial solar page.

Does travel add to the cost?

Regional travel can add a little, depending on how far out you are. It's shown on the quote, which is always free and itemised.
