What commercial solar is worth in Launceston
For systems installed in 2026, using the Clean Energy Regulator’s zone 4 rating for Launceston (1.185 MWh per kW per year) and $37 a certificate.
| System | Output a year | Certificates | Upfront discount | Indicative saving a year |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 30 kW | 36 MWh | 177 | $6,549 | $5,100 |
| 99 kW | 117 MWh | 586 | $21,682 | $17,000 |
| 250 kW | 296 MWh | 1,481 | $54,797 | $42,900 |
| 500 kW | 593 MWh | 2,962 | $109,594 | $85,700 |
| 1 MW | 1,185 MWh | 5,925 | $219,225 | $171,500 |
Savings are scaled from the federal government’s worked example (a 250 kW system saving about $50,000 a year, as reported) by Launceston’s solar output. Your real saving depends on how much you use on site and your tariff. Up to 100 kW uses the small-scale deeming period; over 100 kW gets a fixed 5 years.
Launceston is in the cooler zone 4, so each kW is rated lower than in Sydney or Brisbane. The flip side: the discount is smaller, but so is the system you need to cover a daytime load.
Business power prices in Launceston
In Tasmania, small business electricity prices are set by the state rather than the national default offer, so we don’t show a figure here. The rule still holds: solar you use on site saves your full usage rate, while exports earn far less, so businesses with daytime load pay back fastest.
The local network is TasNetworks. Larger systems need its connection approval, which is often the longest step, so Green starts that application early.

- How much is the commercial solar rebate in Launceston?
- It comes as federal certificates (STCs) that your installer takes off the price. In Launceston (CER zone 4), a 100 kW system installed in 2026 earns 592 certificates, about $21,904 at $37 each. A 250 kW system earns about $54,797. The certificate price moves, so treat these as estimates.
- How much power does commercial solar make in Launceston?
- The Clean Energy Regulator rates Launceston at 1.185 MWh per kW per year, so a 100 kW system is deemed to make about 119 MWh a year. Real output depends on roof direction, shading and tilt.
- Does the commercial solar rebate drop in the new year?
- For systems up to 100 kW, yes: the deeming period shortens each 1 January, so a 99 kW system in Launceston drops from about $21,682 off in 2026 to about $17,353 in 2027. Systems over 100 kW (up to 1 MW) get a fixed 5-year deeming period, so their certificate count doesn't drop in 2027.
