Top 10 Solar Panel Installers in Tasmania

Solar Choice's price index for 1 October 2026 puts the average Hobart price at $6,950 for a 6 kW system and $7,940 for 7 kW, after the STC discount and including GST. A 6.6 kW system usually falls between those, which is higher than most mainland capitals. Premium systems averaged $8,250 to $9,310. Our Tasmanian guides found a similar band. Quality Hobart installs typically quote about $5,500 to $8,000, and one Launceston installer publishes $6,600 to $9,500 for 6.6 kW. Smaller competition and zone 4 certificates both push prices up.

As of October 2026 there is no Tasmanian rebate or loan for solar panels or batteries. The Energy Saver Loan Scheme, which offered interest-free loans, closed on 1 September 2025, and no further applications can be submitted. That leaves the federal schemes. Tasmania is in STC zone 4, so a 6.6 kW system earns about 39 certificates in 2026, worth up to about $1,560, falling to about 31 in 2027. Batteries get 6.8 certificates per usable kWh on the first 14 kWh until 31 December 2026, then 5.7 from 1 January 2027.

Tasmania is one of the few places with a mandatory minimum feed-in tariff. The Office of the Tasmanian Economic Regulator sets it at 9.276c per kWh from 1 July 2026 to 30 June 2027, and every retailer must offer at least that. Aurora Energy, the main retailer, pays the same figure. That is well above the standard retailer rates we found on the mainland. On exports, TasNetworks sets the limit at 10 kW per phase on a basic connection, and larger systems need a negotiated arrangement. Confirm the limit for your address before you size the system.

It can be, but the numbers are slimmer than on the mainland. Hobart produces about 3.5 kWh per kW of panels per day on Clean Energy Council guide figures, against about 3.9 in Sydney. Zone 4 certificates and higher installed prices add to the cost. Working in your favour is the 9.276c minimum feed-in tariff, well above standard mainland rates, and winter heating loads that let you use more of your own power. Size the system to your daytime use, and be cautious of any quote that promises a mainland-style payback.
