Thinking about going solar in Tasmania? Great choice. With abundant renewable energy resources and a range of government incentives available, Tasmanian homeowners can significantly reduce the cost of solar installation — and start saving on power bills sooner.
At Arise Solar, we help Tasmanians unlock every rebate, credit, and incentive available so you get the best value from your solar investment.
🌞 Federal Solar Rebate – Reduce Your Upfront Costs
All eligible households in Tasmania can benefit from the Federal Government’s Small-scale Renewable Energy Scheme (SRES). This national scheme provides a rebate on solar systems by way of Small-scale Technology Certificates (STCs), which are deductible from your installation cost upfront.
Why it matters:
· Reduces your out-of-pocket cost significantly
· Automatically applied by your installer (like Arise Solar) in your quote
· Scales with system size and your location in Tasmania
This is the foundation of solar affordability in Australia and applies no matter where you live in Tasmania.
🔋 30% Cheaper Home Batteries Program – Support for Storage
The Australian Government’s Cheaper Home Batteries Program is making solar battery storage more affordable right now.
Key benefits:
· Up to ~30% discount on eligible battery storage systems
· Eligible even if you’ve already installed solar panels
· Designed to help households boost self-consumption and energy independence
Adding a battery can increase your solar savings, reduce reliance on the grid, and offer backup power during outages — a smart complement to any solar setup. Arise Solar can help check your eligibility and incorporate battery incentives into your quote.
⚡ Feed-In Tariffs – Earn Credits for Extra Solar Energy
In Tasmania, if your solar system generates more electricity than your home uses, you can sell excess energy back to the grid through a feed-in tariff (FIT).
What this means for you:
· Earn bill credits for surplus energy exported
· Potential to improve your overall solar ROI
· Rates vary by energy provider and market conditions
Arise Solar helps you understand potential feed-in earnings and choose a system that maximises your solar production and financial return.
📈 Other Tasmanian & Local Government Support Programs
While Tasmania doesn’t currently have a specific statewide solar rebate like other states, there are sometimes local council or community energy grants that support renewable energy uptake. These may include:
· Low-interest loans for home energy upgrades
· Grants for battery storage
· Solar bulk-buy programs in certain communities
Arise Solar stays up to date with all grant opportunities and can help identify any new local rebates or programs that might benefit you.
Why Solar Now Makes Sense in Tasmania
Tasmania enjoys some of the cleanest energy profiles in Australia — and solar systems here continue to deliver strong returns thanks to:
· Rising electricity prices
· Continued federal incentives
· Increasing value of feed-in tariffs
This means fewer years to pay back your solar investment and more years of savings.

Tasmanian Solar FAQs
Do I need an accredited installer to get rebates? Yes — to qualify for federal and other rebates, your system must be installed by Clean Energy Council-accredited installers like Arise Solar.
Can I still install solar without a battery? Absolutely — solar panels alone still provide excellent savings, and you can add a battery later if eligible for incentives.
What size solar system should I get in Tasmania? That depends on your energy use, roof space, and goals. Arise Solar can help you find the right balance to maximise savings and efficiency.
