System size guide
Choosing the right solar system for your property
Every home and business uses power differently, so we size your system around your actual energy use and power bills. For most homes, 6.6 kW is a sensible minimum starting point. Choose the setup that looks most like yours.
Most single-phase homes can connect up to 10 kVA of inverter capacity.

FAQ
Solar questions we get asked a lot
Is solar worth it in Tasmania?
For most homes, yes. Winter output is lower than on the mainland, but long summer days and rising power prices still make solar pay. The trick is sizing it to what you use during the day: every kWh you use yourself saves approximately 31 cents per kWh on Aurora’s standard rate, while exporting it earns approximately 9 cents per kWh.
How much does solar cost in Tasmania?
It depends on the system size, your roof and the gear you choose. We offer a budget range and a premium range, and you get a fixed price in writing after we’ve looked at your place.
How much is the battery discount?
The discount depends on the battery system, its usable capacity and the current program settings. It applies to eligible batteries between 5 and 100 kWh, tapers above 14 kWh and steps down every six months. We apply it to your quote, so you don’t need to apply.
Can I add a battery to my existing solar?
Usually, yes, and the discount applies to existing systems too. If your system is old, small or not performing, we’ll check it first and tell you straight whether to upgrade before adding storage.
Is the Energy Saver Loan Scheme still running?
No. The Tasmanian Government’s Energy Saver Loan Scheme closed to new applications on 1 September 2025. Ask us about other ways to finance your investment.
Do you work outside Hobart?
Yes. We install statewide, with a strong focus on Southern Tasmania, including grid-connected homes and businesses and off-grid systems on rural properties.
