| Metric | Value |
|---|---|
| 5kW — daily | 19.5 kWh/day |
| 5kW — annual | 7,118 kWh/year |
Using 3.9 peak sun hours as a planning figure for Hobart, a 5kW array can produce about 19.5 kWh/day and ~7,118 kWh/year. North vs east-west layouts, shade and inverter clipping change real results — insist on a site assessment.
STCs apply at Zone 4 values (lower certificates than northern states). No broad TAS state solar rebate currently. Indicative 6.6kW after STC often $5,500–$8,500 reflecting labour/logistics as much as hardware. For Zone 4, MrSolar’s master table (spot $39.85 as of 2026-08-05) points to about $917 in STCs for a comparable residential size class. Indicative installed pricing still varies widely with roof complexity.
Smaller Glenorchy homes with modest daytime loads, apartments with limited roof, or households building toward a later battery often start near 5kW.
TasNetworks runs the connection process. Documentation quality and meter work still gate energisation even when system sizes are modest. Your installer should document the pathway for a 5kW system at Glenorchy.
Compare three CEC-accredited quotes. Require panel/inverter models, STC pass-through, export limits, and workmanship warranty. Worth modelling if bills are high and roof/shade cooperate. Be sceptical of tropical yield screenshots pasted onto Hobart proposals.
Confirm CEC accreditation, exact product models, STC/battery subsidy line items, DNSP/export assumptions, and workmanship warranty length in writing. Compare at least three like-for-like quotes via MrSolar.
