Why install residential solar in Australia?
Rooftop solar generates electricity during daylight hours. Using that electricity directly can reduce the amount purchased from the grid.
The strongest results usually come from matching system size to household consumption, roof space and future electricity demand.
- Reduce suitable daytime grid imports
- Use rooftop space to generate electricity
- Prepare for home battery storage
- Support suitable EV charging
- Plan for future electrification
6.6kW, 10kW or 13kW residential solar?
There is no single system size for every home. Electricity use, roof area, pools, EVs and battery plans can change the recommendation.
Add home battery storage to residential solar
A compatible home battery can store suitable excess solar generation for later use. Storage can be installed with new solar or added to many existing systems after compatibility is checked.
- Store suitable excess daytime solar
- Use stored energy later
- Reduce selected evening grid imports
- Consider backup where supported
- Plan for EVs and electrification

An electric vehicle can become one of the largest new household loads. Solar sizing should consider how often the EV is home during daylight and how much energy it needs.
Smart charging can help align EV charging with available solar generation where compatible equipment is used.

STCs can reduce the upfront cost of eligible home solar
Most eligible residential rooftop solar systems can receive support through Australia’s Small-scale Renewable Energy Scheme. Eligible home batteries can receive separate support under the current federal battery program.
Solar STCs
Eligibility depends on system size, location, approved equipment and accredited installation. STC entitlement decreases as the scheme approaches 2030.
Battery support
Battery rules and calculations are separate from rooftop solar STCs, so eligibility should be checked when the quote is prepared.
Residential solar installation in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Adelaide and Canberra
ADS Solar serves Australian homeowners nationally, with these five metropolitan markets as our main residential service focus.
Residential solar Sydney
Sydney properties range from compact urban roofs to larger Western Sydney and Hills District homes. Roof layout, shading, pools, air conditioning, batteries and EVs should be considered together.
Residential solar Melbourne
Melbourne system design should account for seasonal generation, roof orientation, heating electrification, home batteries and EV charging.
Residential solar Brisbane
Brisbane homes can have strong daytime solar opportunities. Air conditioning, pools and battery plans often influence the final system size.
Residential solar Adelaide
Adelaide households can combine strong rooftop solar conditions with battery storage, EV charging and high summer electricity use.
Residential solar Canberra
Canberra homes often benefit from planning solar around heating, cooling, hot water, EVs and other all-electric household loads.
Other Australian locations
ADS Solar also supports other serviceable areas. Installer availability and network requirements should be confirmed for the property postcode.
How residential solar installation works
A professional residential solar project should start with electricity use, roof conditions and future energy needs.
1. Review energy use
Assess bills, daytime loads, future EVs and battery plans.
2. Assess the property
Review roof area, shading, orientation, switchboard and phase supply.
3. Design the system
Select solar size, panels, inverter and battery-ready configuration.
4. Install and commission
Complete installation, testing, commissioning and monitoring setup.
Why choose ADS Solar for residential solar?

Frequently asked questions about residential solar
How much does residential solar cost in Australia?
Cost depends on system size, equipment, roof, switchboard, installation complexity and location. ADS Solar advertises selected 6.6kW, 10kW and 13kW systems from $3,999*, $5,999* and $6,999* respectively.
What size residential solar system do I need?
The best size depends on electricity use, roof area, daytime consumption, battery storage, EV charging and budget.
Should I install a battery with residential solar?
A battery can store suitable excess solar for later use. Whether it is worthwhile depends on evening consumption, solar surplus, tariffs, backup goals and installed cost.
Can residential solar charge an electric vehicle?
Yes. Suitable daytime EV charging can use rooftop solar generation. Smart charging may help align charging with available solar production.
Are residential solar systems eligible for STCs?
Most eligible residential rooftop solar systems can receive support through the Small-scale Renewable Energy Scheme, subject to current program rules.
