What Tasmania homeowners are actually paying
STCs explained for Tasmania homeowners
Small-scale Technology Certificates (STCs) are a federal government incentive. When you install solar, your system generates certificates based on its size, location, and the years remaining in the scheme (ending 2030). Tasmania is in STC Zone 4.
Example: 6.6kW system in TAS
Approximately 31 STCs = $1,023 – $1,240
Your installer is legally required to disclose the value of STCs they claim on your behalf. If your quote doesn't mention STCs, ask before signing.

Frequently Asked Questions — Tasmania
What solar incentives are available in Tasmania?
Tasmania does not currently have a state-level solar rebate. Federal STCs apply but Tasmania is in Zone 4, so STC generation is lower than mainland states.
Why are STCs worth less in TAS?
TAS is in STC Zone 4, the lowest zone, reflecting lower average solar generation. A 6.6kW system generates fewer STCs than the same system in QLD or WA.
Is solar still worth it in Tasmania?
Yes. Despite lower STC values, Tasmania has high electricity prices, making solar economically viable. Battery storage can be particularly valuable given Tasmania's energy pricing.
