SOLAR SERVICING AND UPGRADES SA
Already have solar? Get more out of it
Most solar systems in South Australia were put in to cut daytime power bills. Years later, the house uses power differently: an electric car, a new hot water system, more people at home, and a power bill that peaks after dark. The panels on the roof are only part of the answer now.
Yorke Solar looks after systems we installed and systems we didn’t. Our own electricians check, clean, repair and upgrade them, so one team handles the roof, the switchboard and the battery.
What we do for existing systems
START WITH A CHECK
Find out what your system is doing now
Many owners don’t know if their system is still producing what it should. Monitoring drops off the WiFi, an inverter shows a fault nobody sees, or dust and bird mess cut output a little more each year.
A solar health check measures what your system makes against what it should make, checks the wiring, isolators and inverter, and tells you plainly what needs fixing and what doesn’t.
Then decide what’s worth doing
From there we can tell you whether a battery, more panels or a switchboard upgrade makes sense for your home, and what it costs. No upgrade is pushed on you.
UPGRADES THAT PAY
Batteries, EV charging and electrifying your home
If you export most of your solar for a few cents and buy power back at night, adding a battery is usually the biggest saving available. The federal battery rebate is worked into the price, and it steps down on 1 January 2027.
Moving off gas or buying an electric car changes the picture again. An EV charger and a heat pump hot water system can both run on daytime solar, and sometimes it pays to add more panels first.
Older switchboards
Many older homes need a switchboard upgrade before a battery or charger can go in. As electricians, we do that in the same job.

COMMON QUESTIONS
Solar servicing questions

Usually, yes. We check your inverter and switchboard first, then recommend a battery that works with what you have.
Not always. Older switchboards with ceramic fuses or no room for new circuits often need upgrading first, and we check this before quoting.
Yes. The federal battery rebate comes off the price of an eligible battery. It is set by the install date and steps down on 1 January 2027.
