At Astra Solar we design systems around the way Tasmanian homes actually use power. Hobart winters are long, dark and cold, and household demand peaks in the evening once generation has already dropped away. A system sized on mainland assumptions will disappoint here.
Built for Tasmanian conditions
We size to your real consumption rather than a package tier, and we allow for what matters locally: lower winter irradiance, wind exposure in the hillside suburbs, shading from established trees, and the varied roof pitches across Hobart older housing stock. Where solar alone will not do what a household is hoping for, we say so before you buy.
Rebates and incentives
Tasmanian households can access the federal Cheaper Home Batteries program, which discounts eligible battery installations through small-scale technology certificates assigned at the point of installation. The certificate value changes over time and depends on the system, so we calculate your entitlement as part of your quote rather than advertising a figure.
Information current as at 27 July 2026. Rebates and eligibility change — we confirm your entitlement at quote stage.

Very happy with Astra Solar – Stephen and Matt in particular for their patience in guiding me through the whole process, ensuring I understood all the issues, and could make an informed decision around installing solar panels. Their attention to detail, friendliness, prompt responses and professionalism are a credit to this excellent company. I couldn’t recommend them high enough.
