Residential Solar — 6.6kW to 13.3kW Systems for Hobart Homes

Tasmania exports pay a fraction of peak import rates. A Sungrow hybrid battery stores your midday generation and covers high evening heating loads.

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 Hobart and the Greater TAS South Region
Hobart’s rooftop profile is distinct from the mainland. Older Federation and inter-war homes in West Hobart, Sandy Bay, and Battery Point frequently have steeper pitches — 25 to 35 degrees — which can actually improve winter output at Hobart’s latitude of 42.8°S. The longer north-facing roof runs on these older homes suit 24-panel arrays at 9.9kW and above, provided the ridge line is oriented correctly. Where you have east and west splits, or partial shading from a large pine or a towering chimney stack, Q CELLS perform better than TOPCon under those off-angle conditions.
The “solar doesn’t work in Hobart” myth comes from confusing overcast sky with zero generation. Modern N-Type TOPCon panels produce meaningful output in diffuse light. At 4.1 peak sun hours per day in winter and 7.2 in summer, Hobart’s annual average of 5.4 peak sun hours sits above Melbourne’s. Your system generates year-round — it generates less in June, more in January, and the total annual output is strong enough for a 6.6kW system to return a typical residential investment within four to six years.
We do not subcontract in Hobart. The SAA-accredited team that quotes your job is the team on your roof. TasNetworks grid connection paperwork is handled by us, including the Certificate of Compliance for Electrical Work required in Tasmania.

What Hobart Homeowners Say After Going Solar with Sunflare
Frequently Asked Questions from Hobart Solar Shoppers
Yes, and the data is specific. Hobart averages 4.1 peak sun hours per day in winter and 7.2 in summer. For comparison, Sydney averages approximately 3.8 peak sun hours in winter. Modern N-Type TOPCon panels produce meaningful output in diffuse light — they do not require direct unobscured sunlight. The “cloud myth” conflates overcast skies with zero generation, which is inaccurate. Your system generates every day the sky is bright, including through light cloud cover. The annual average of approximately 5.4 peak sun hours per day in Hobart supports a viable return on a correctly sized 6.6kW or 9.9kW system.
A 6.6kW system in Hobart typically costs $5,500 to $7,500 before rebates, depending on panel brand and inverter choice. After the federal STC discount of approximately $1,800 to $2,400, the net cost for an eligible homeowner drops to around $3,100 to $5,700 for a 6.6kW install. There is no state solar rebate currently available in Tasmania. Sunflare Solar provides a fully itemised quote showing all applicable rebates before you sign anything.
No. The Tasmania Energy Saver Loan Scheme closed to new applications on 1 September 2025. Funding was exhausted and the scheme is no longer accepting applications. The two active federal rebate pathways in 2026 are the Small-scale Technology Certificates (STCs) upfront discount and the Cheaper Home Batteries Program for eligible battery installations. Sunflare Solar will confirm which of these apply to your property at no cost.
Sunflare Solar manages the TasNetworks grid connection application as part of every installation. This includes submitting the Certificate of Compliance for Electrical Work required under Tasmanian regulations, the network connection application, and any metering change requests. You do not need to contact TasNetworks directly. Typical TasNetworks approval takes five to fifteen business days from submission.
No. The SAA-accredited team that provides your Hobart quote is the same team that completes the installation. We do not use subcontractors in Tasmania or anywhere else we operate. This matters for warranty continuity — if something requires attention in year three or year eight, you call us directly and the people who installed the system are accountable. SAA Accreditation No. S7274762 is on every job we complete.
