If you’ve been considering solar installation or battery storage for your business, now is the time to act. 

The South Australian Government has just reopened the Powering Business Grant for Round 3, offering up to 50% off the cost of your project to help local businesses invest in energy-saving solutions like solar panels, battery storage, and energy monitoring systems.

As an additional bonus, this grant can be used in conjunction with the current solar installation rebates and the Federal Government Battery rebate

As a proudly local and award winning business with over 10 years hands on experience, Solar Energy Adelaide is here to help you take full advantage of this opportunity.

  • The grant can cover the purchase and installation of:

    • Solar PV systems

    • Battery storage

    • Energy monitoring equipment

    • Electrical infrastructure upgrades

There’s a total of $3.4 million in funding available, but applications are assessed on a first-come, first-served basis — so it’s best to act quickly.

Why Solar and Battery Storage Is a Smart Move for Your Business

Solar power is one of the most reliable and cost-effective ways for South Australian businesses to reduce long-term overheads. A well-designed commercial solar system can significantly cut electricity bills and protect your business from rising energy prices. With minimal maintenance requirements and system lifespans of 25 years or more, solar offers consistent savings year after year.

Adding a battery boosts your energy independence even further by storing excess power for use after hours or during peak tariff times.

With generous rebates like the Powering Business Grant now available, many businesses are seeing a return on investment in as little as 3 to 5 years — making solar a smart, low-risk investment in your business’s future.
