Our Services
Solar Services Available for Burnie and Northwest Tasmania
Residential Solar — 6.6kW to 13.3kW Systems for Burnie Homes
JinKO TOPCon on north-facing Burnie roofs, Q CELLS where shading or east-west pitch applies. TasNetworks connection managed on every job.
Battery Storage — Store What You Generate in Burnie
Tasmania exports pay a fraction of peak import rates. A Sungrow hybrid battery stores your midday generation and covers evening loads. Federal CHBP offsets ~$252/kWh.
Solar and Battery Packages — One Install, One Warranty, One Crew
One SAA-accredited crew. One install day. Sungrow hybrid inverter wired once — panels and battery together cost less than retrofitting storage later.
Sunflare Solar Covers Burnie and the Full Northwest Tasmania Corridor
Burnie’s rooftop conditions differ from Hobart and Launceston. Northwest-facing ridgelines, coastal salt exposure, and steeper roof pitches on older homes in South Burnie and Cooee mean panel selection and mounting decisions matter more here than in a flat suburban estate. For true north-facing roofs, we install JinKO Solar N-Type TOPCon panels, which produce at full specification under the clear winter skies that Burnie regularly records between June and August. Where your roof runs east and west, or where a ridge behind your block creates shading before 10am or after 3pm, we specify Q CELLS, which hold output better under those conditions.
TasNetworks is the distribution network operator for northwest Tasmania, including Burnie, Wynyard, Devonport, and Ulverstone. Every grid-connected system we install goes through a TasNetworks application process. We prepare and submit that application as part of every job — it is not an add-on charge.
Sunflare Solar does not subcontract in northwest Tasmania. The SAA-accredited team that comes to your Burnie property to quote is the same crew on the roof on install day. That matters for warranty continuity: if something needs checking in year five or year nine, you call us.
Burnie service area includes: South Burnie, Cooee, Acton, Upper Burnie, Wynyard, Somerset, Penguin, Ulverstone, Devonport, Latrobe, Spreyton, East Devonport, Port Sorell, Forth, and Turners Beach.

What Northwest Tasmania Homeowners Say After Going Solar with Sunflare
Frequently Asked Questions from Burnie Solar Shoppers
A 6.6kW system in Burnie typically costs $5,500 to $7,500 before incentives, depending on panel brand and inverter choice. After the federal STC discount of approximately $1,800 to $2,400, the net cost for eligible homeowners drops to around $3,100 to $5,700 for a 6.6kW install. There is no current state government solar rebate in Tasmania — the STC is the primary upfront offset. Sunflare Solar provides an itemised quote showing all applicable discounts before you sign anything.
Yes. Northwest Tasmania, including Burnie, Devonport, and Wynyard, averages 4.0 peak sun hours per day in winter and up to 7.0 in summer. That is sufficient irradiance to generate meaningful output from a 6.6kW or 9.9kW system year-round. The northwest coast of Tasmania typically records more clear-sky winter days than Hobart, which benefits rooftop output during the highest-consumption heating months. A battery extends the value of that generation into the evening.
For north-facing roofs — common on post-1990 builds across Burnie, Somerset, and Devonport — we install JinKO Solar N-Type TOPCon panels, which produce at full specification under clear conditions. For east or west-facing roof sections, or where a ridge, chimney, or coastal structure creates partial shading, we use Q CELLS, which maintain output better under off-angle and partial-shade conditions. We quote both and show you the production modelling for your specific roof orientation before you decide.
TasNetworks is the distribution network operator for northwest Tasmania, including Burnie, Wynyard, Devonport, and Ulverstone. Every grid-connected system must be approved by TasNetworks before the system can export to the grid. Sunflare Solar prepares and submits the TasNetworks connection application as part of every installation. Approvals for residential systems in the northwest corridor typically take five to ten business days once the application is submitted.
No. The Tasmania Energy Saver Loan program closed to new applications on 1 September 2025 and is no longer available. The two active financial incentives for Burnie and northwest Tasmania solar installations in 2026 are the federal Small-scale Technology Certificates (STCs) and the federal Cheaper Home Batteries Program, which runs from May to December 2026. If you have seen the Energy Saver Loan mentioned elsewhere online, that information is out of date. Sunflare Solar will confirm what is currently available at the time of your quote.
