Connecting solar and batteries in Hobart
Hobart is on TasNetworks' network, which covers Tasmania.
Step 1: Written approval first
TasNetworks' prior written agreement is needed before new solar, extra inverters or a battery are connected, and before inverter settings are changed. Your installer usually applies.
Step 2: System size
A basic household connection can take up to 10 kVA on a single phase, or 10 kVA per phase (30 kVA) on three phase.
Step 3: Export limit
Exports are limited to 10 kW on a single phase, or 10 kW per phase on three phase, including any battery. TasNetworks can set a lower limit for a particular site after a technical study.
Incentives for homes in Hobart
These are the incentives open to homes in the area. Your installer normally applies the federal discounts to the quoted price.
- Solar: small-scale technology certificates (STCs) reduce the price of eligible systems. Hobart postcodes are in the Clean Energy Regulator's zone 4, which sets how many certificates a system earns.
- Batteries: the federal Cheaper Home Batteries Program discounts eligible batteries through the same certificate scheme.
- There's no Tasmanian solar panel rebate open to households. Tasmania's Energy Saver Loan Scheme, which covered solar, closed on 1 September 2025.
Feed-in tariffs and electricity prices
Tasmania has a regulated minimum feed-in tariff: 9.276 cents per kWh for 2026–27, which retailers must offer to eligible customers.
TasNetworks' residential consumer energy resources tariff has a super off-peak period from midnight to 4 am every day, which TasNetworks suggests suits charging a battery or an EV. Ask your retailer whether a plan based on it is available.
Worth asking about in Hobart
- Shaded by hills or tall trees? Ask installers to show how shading affects the expected output, especially in winter when the sun is low.
- In a unit or townhouse? Solar and batteries on common property need your owners corporation's or body corporate's agreement first.
- Older homes may need switchboard work before solar or a battery can be connected. Ask each installer whether their quote includes it.
- Close to the Derwent or the coast? Ask whether the panels, inverter and mounting are suitable for salt air, and check the manufacturer's warranty conditions for coastal sites.
- All electrical work must be done by a licensed electrician. Ask for the installer's licence and accreditation details with the quote.
