Are solar panels worth the investment in Tasmania? How much money can you save?
With less sunshine than many states in Australia, some Tasmanians may wonder whether it makes financial sense to invest in solar panels. Well, we’re here to assure you that there are many Tassie homeowners who are currently reaping the benefits of solar. Did you know that Tasmania has the highest solar self-consumption in the country? This helps improve the return from solar and is due to a combination of high electricity use and cloudy skies. Strict regulatory standards for solar also ensure that you are receiving high quality installations that will not only maximise your energy savings but ensure the longevity of your investment.

Enjoy power savings day and night by adding a battery
By adding a battery to their solar system, Tasmanians can save even more money on electricity. At night or during cloudy days, the excess energy stored in batteries allows people to use more of their self-generated power instead of grid power. In fact, adding a battery to a residential solar system can double the amount of self-generated electricity consumption. Not only will solar panels and a battery save you money, they can also add value to your home.

The Electric Vehicle (EV) revolution is gaining strength in Tasmania. Are you EV ready?
More and more Australians are buying Electric Vehicles (EV). In fact, over 50% of Australians intend to purchase an EV in the next 5 years! The Tasmanian government is investing heavily in fast EV charging stations in regional and tourism destinations. And to assist Tasmanians to buy an EV, they have also committed to waive stamp duty for EVs purchased in Tasmania for the next two years.
Ensure your house is EV ready by installing a home solar battery. Installing a home battery gives you the flexibility to either sell your stored electricity back to the grid or charge your EV overnight (whichever option works better for you depending on feed-in-tariff, lifestyle, etc.).
