Solar Installation Hobart
Hobart offers the highest regulated feed-in tariff in Australia and clean hydro backup power. With lower solar uptake meaning less grid congestion, now is the perfect time for Tasmanians to go solar.
Why Hobart is Great for Solar
Highest Regulated Feed-in Tariff
Aurora Energy's regulated feed-in tariff of 8.5-9c/kWh is among the highest in Australia, maximising your returns on exported power.
Clean Hydro Backup
Tasmania's grid is powered by clean hydro energy, meaning even your imported power is renewable. Solar + hydro = 100% green.
Lower Solar Uptake = Less Grid Congestion
With only 22% solar penetration, Hobart's grid has plenty of capacity. No export limiting issues that plague other cities.
Cool Climate Panel Efficiency
Solar panels perform better in cooler temperatures. Hobart's mild climate means your panels operate closer to peak efficiency year-round.
