Solar Panel Installation in Hobart
Rising power bills are usually what puts solar on the radar. The system you end up with should be sized around how your household actually uses electricity, not around a standard package.
Iconic Energy is a Tasmanian owned electrical and solar business based in Kingston, installing solar across Greater Hobart. Every quote starts with a site assessment: we review your bills, look at your roof, and talk through what you are planning next.
How we size residential solar
Iconic Energy generally designs residential solar systems from around 8kW upwards, depending on household usage, available roof space and future loads such as battery storage or EV charging.
That is where the conversation starts, not a fixed package. We size every system from your bills, your roof and what you are planning next.
Solar pricing depends on system size, roof layout, electrical work and equipment selection. For current indicative pricing, see our guide to solar panel costs in Hobart.
The federal Small-scale Technology Certificate scheme reduces the upfront price, and the value applied to your system is shown clearly in your proposal. Full detail is on our solar rebates and incentives in Tasmania page.
What you actually save
Two things determine your return: how much grid power you stop buying, and what you earn for the rest.
Tasmania's regulated minimum feed-in tariff is 9.276 cents per kilowatt hour for 2026-27. Because that export rate is well below what you pay to buy power, most of the savings come from using your own solar during the day.
We size systems around that, and show you the numbers based on your actual bills rather than a generic estimate.

Why solar in Hobart needs a considered approach
Roof orientation, shading, household usage patterns, and future needs all impact performance.
Too often, solar panels in Hobart are installed without considering these factors. Feed-in tariffs, grid connectivity requirements, and whether hybrid systems with battery storage are a worthwhile investment are often overlooked.
The problem with "one-size-fits-all" solar installs
Systems sold on rebates or price alone. Little explanation of alternatives. Solar systems installed without considering future battery storage or solar hot water units. Electrical issues found after installation.
These problems come from rushed installs focused on speed, not outcomes. Without a proper site assessment, solar falls short of its potential.

Systems we install
- Residential solar: grid-connected systems for Greater Hobart homes, sized to household usage.
- Residential solar and battery: for households wanting to use more of their own solar in the evening. See our solar battery installation page.
- Commercial solar: for Hobart businesses looking to reduce operating costs.
- Commercial solar and battery: for businesses looking to increase solar self-consumption, manage electricity costs outside solar-generation hours and, where required, provide backup for selected critical circuits.
- Off-grid solar: for rural and remote Tasmanian properties without practical grid access.
Lead time is typically 3 to 6 weeks from acceptance. Once work starts, a solar-only installation typically takes 1 to 2 days, and solar with a battery typically takes 2 to 3 days.
Panels and inverters we install
Solar panels: Aiko, Jinko and Tindo
Inverters: GoodWe, Sungrow and Sigenergy
We recommend specific products after the site assessment, based on your roof, your usage and whether a battery is part of the plan now or later.

Solar designed to reduce energy bills
Iconic Energy focuses on solar design that aligns with how and when your household uses electricity. By prioritising energy efficiency and smart system sizing, we help homeowners reduce their carbon footprint while achieving long-term savings.
Whether you’re interested in standard grid-connected systems, battery storage systems for energy independence, or off-grid solar systems for remote properties, we create renewable energy solutions that work for your situation.
Safe, compliant, and future-ready
Iconic Energy checks that your electrical system meets current standards and can handle your solar setup properly.
We assess the switchboard, metering and existing electrical infrastructure, select compliant equipment, and confirm the system design meets the relevant network and connection requirements. Dealing with this early helps prevent faults and unexpected costs later.

Common questions about solar in Hobart
Is there a solar rebate in Tasmania in 2026?
As at September 2026 there is no separate Tasmanian state solar rebate. Support comes from the federal Small-scale Technology Certificate scheme, which reduces the upfront price, plus the federal battery program if you are adding storage.
What size solar system do I need?
It depends on your roof and your usage rather than a rule of thumb. We generally design residential systems from around 8kW upwards, and size every system from your actual bills and future plans.
How much does solar cost in Hobart?
It depends on system size, roof layout, electrical work and equipment selection. Our solar panel cost guide covers current indicative pricing, and your proposal shows exact pricing for your home.
How long does installation take?
Lead time is typically 3 to 6 weeks from acceptance. A solar-only installation typically takes 1 to 2 days, and solar with a battery typically takes 2 to 3 days.
Which areas do you cover?
Iconic Energy is based in Kingston and installs solar across Greater Hobart.
