What to check in Hobart

Use these points before comparing quotes.

Rebate context: Federal solar STCs usually reduce the quoted solar price. No broad current state rebate is included here; check local, council, retailer, and VPP offers before signing.

Climate risk: Lower winter sun means conservative generation modelling is essential.

Roof design: North-facing and shade-free roof sections matter more than in sunnier cities.

Tariff check: Compare solar value against heating loads and controlled tariffs.

Local quote checklist

  • Ask for a shade analysis before approving panel placement.
  • Review whether self-consumption is strong enough to justify the system size.
  • Check inverter and mounting suitability for local weather exposure.
  • Request monthly generation estimates, not just an annual total.
