Solar Design Hobart
Energy Usage
Understanding your household's energy usage is essential for sizing a solar system in Hobart. Average daily consumption sits at around 25 kWh for most Hobart homes, with energy efficient properties typically using substantially less.
Lowering energy usage before solar installation—via improved insulation and efficient appliances—often reduces required system size and enhances financial returns.
Typical energy usage per person per day in Hobart:
Note: Actual usage varies depending on property size, building efficiency, climate, and appliances.
Solar System Sizing
Matching your daily energy needs requires approximately 6.6kW of solar capacity. Systems sized between 9.9kW and 13.2kW perform best, accounting for natural fluctuations in solar production.
A 6.6 kW system in Hobart generates approximately 26.8 kWh daily on average, with seasonal variation from 2.89 kWh/kW/day in June to 4.75 kWh/kW/day in February.
Solar & Energy Savings
Calculate Heat Pump & EV Savings
Electrify your home by replacing gas heating, petrol vehicles, and other fossil fuel appliances with electric alternatives powered by clean solar energy. This delivers significant additional financial savings and substantial carbon emission reductions. Our calculator helps you compare costs and model the financial impact of switching to electric appliances and vehicles.
How Solar Reduces Your Electricity Bills
The calculations below show how your electricity bills change with solar. Your Old Bill of - per month (- annually) is calculated from your total energy consumption multiplied by the grid electricity rate. Your New Bill of - per month (- annually) accounts for solar generation, the percentage you use directly (self-consumption), remaining grid consumption, and feed-in credits for excess energy exported to the grid. This results in monthly savings of - (- annually).
Battery Storage Hobart
Solar Battery Sizing
Without battery storage, a 6.6 kW system in Hobart achieves approximately 50% energy self-sufficiency, with the remaining 50% supplied by the grid. Including a 10 kWh battery typically raises annual self-sufficiency to around 81%, with grid reliance dropping to 19%.

Solar & Battery System Cost Hobart
Understanding Solar & Battery System Costs
Solar systems in Hobart are priced around $7,661 for a 6.6 kW installation, rising to approximately $12,904 when including a 10 kWh battery. Solar installations typically pay for themselves within around 5.3 years, whilst batteries extend payback but deliver significantly higher energy independence.
The breakdown covers equipment, installation, and taxes. Adjust the system size and battery sliders to see how different configurations affect your investment and payback timeline.
