Warning Solar Energy Installer

Published 18th December 2023

The District Council of Coober Pedy has recently been made aware of claims made by a third party that the Council will provide solar feed in tariffs for electricity supply to its grid. Please be aware this is incorrect.

Residents are also reminded that any connection (including solar installations) to the Council’s electricity grid requires approval. Further information can be found here https://www.cooberpedy.sa.gov.au/electricity.

The Council also notes there is a current Public Warning Notice on the Consumer and Business Services website relating to a solar energy installer involved in supplying and installing grid connected solar systems in the Council area. That Notice can be accessed at this link https://www.cbs.sa.gov.au/__data/assets/pdf_file/0008/959390/SA-Solar-Public-Warning-Notice.pdf

The CBS also publishes other useful information relating to solar installations that can be accessed from its website at https://www.cbs.sa.gov.au/sections/CBAdvice/solar-energy.
