SOUTH Australia has the nation's largest number of home solar panel systems powering electricity into the grid. The state eclipses the rest of the nation with 1600 more solar panel systems than Victoria and 1800 more than New South Wales. The Federal Government Environment department figures show SA has a total of 4920 solar panel systems and of these, 4675 systems are connected to the national electricity grid. South Plympton resident Bob Dickenson, 86, said he bought his standard 1000 kW system two years ago. "I think I've only paid about $200 in power bills," he said.
