South Australia's premier Jay Weatherill says his government's plan to install solar panels and Tesla batteries in 50-thousand homes will create around 500 jobs.
Mr Weatherill said about 250 jobs will be created from the battery work and up to 260 more in the supply chain, as the government's contract with Tesla requires local contractors be used.
The premier says the partnership between the government and Tesla will deliver a network of home solar systems backed up by battery storage to make the world's largest "virtual power plant".
