Short answer
As at November 2026, South Australians mainly use the federal incentives: STCs for solar panels and the Cheaper Home Batteries Program for batteries. The state’s Home Battery Scheme has closed and isn’t accepting new applications. SA also has a legacy 44 cent feed-in tariff for older systems and solar export rules.
Also worth knowing in SA:
- Old 44 cent feed-in tariff. It’s only available for systems connected before 30 September 2011, and installing a battery ends it.
- Dynamic exports. New solar inverters must meet SA’s dynamic export requirements, which adjust how much you can export based on network capacity.
- Solar Sharer Offer. Eligible SA households can get three free hours of electricity from 12pm to 3pm. See What is the Solar Sharer Offer?
