ViewSolar in Fleurieu Peninsula: questions
How long does an installer take to reach the Fleurieu?
Most Adelaide installers cover the Fleurieu, but they typically charge a small travel surcharge ($200-$500) or batch their Fleurieu work into a single trip per fortnight. Local installers are based at Victor Harbor.
Are off-grid systems common in the Fleurieu?
Yes - the further south you go (Yankalilla, Cape Jervis, Deep Creek) the more off-grid systems make sense. Grid connection costs over $20,000 are common for blocks more than 500m from the nearest pole.
