We’re the local solar company Hobart reviews consistently recommend, and here’s why that matters:
This is huge. Most solar companies subcontract their installations. 4Front Services doesn’t. Every installation is completed by our own SAA-accredited electricians who live and work in Tasmania.
What this means for you:
Tasmania has Australia’s cleanest electricity grid thanks to hydro power. But that doesn’t mean solar isn’t worth it. In fact, it makes even more sense because:
Let’s talk numbers. For an average Tasmanian home, a 6.6kW system is typically the sweet spot.
Expected investment after federal rebates: $6,000-$8,000
This includes:
Here’s where solar gets exciting:
Immediate impact: Most Tasmanian households see their electricity bills drop by 50-80%. Some homeowners with optimal setups only pay the daily connection charge.
Long-term returns: A quality 6.6kW system typically pays for itself in 4-6 years through energy savings. After that, it’s pure profit and that means 20+ more years of reduced bills.
Property value: Homes with solar installations sell faster and for higher prices. Buyers recognise the value of lower running costs.
Small-scale Technology Certificates (STCs): This federal incentive provides an upfront discount on your installation cost. We handle all the paperwork and you just enjoy the savings.
Feed-in Tariffs: When your system produces more electricity than you’re using, that excess goes back to the grid and you get credited. While feed-in tariff rates vary by retailer, it ensures every kilowatt-hour your system generates has value.
For Tasmanians in rural or semi-rural areas, whether you’re in Sorell, the Huon Valley, or up north in Launceston, this peace of mind is invaluable.
We’re not the cheapest option, but we’re the best value option. There’s a big difference.

Contact 4Front Services:
Does solar work in winter? Yes. While production is lower in winter months, modern panels still generate significant electricity on Tasmania’s winter days. Those long, crisp July days? Your panels are still working hard.
What size system do I need? Most Tasmanian homes benefit from a 6.6kW system, but we size every system based on your specific energy usage and roof space. Got electric heating or a heat pump? We’ll factor that in.
How long does installation take? Most residential installations are completed in one day.
What maintenance is required? Minimal. We recommend an occasional rinse if your panels get dusty, and a professional inspection every few years.
What if I need service later? Call us. We installed it, we serviced it. No runaround, no excuses.
Do panels handle Hobart’s weather? Absolutely. They’re built to handle hail, snow, and strong winds. In fact, our cooler climate is ideal for panel efficiency—they actually perform better than in scorching mainland summers.
