After 103 days there has been no public information about what the new feed-in tariff (FiT) will be, or even how it will be calculated.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The Alliance says time is running out to carry out the necessary processes. The future of the feed-in tariff is of special interest to those on the legacy 28c FiT, some of whom\u00a0 have small systems that they wish to upgrade but can&#8217;t do so without losing the 28c rate. It&#8217;s expected there will be a bit of a rush on system upgrades when the calendar flips over to 2019, which will be good for local installers.<\/p>\n<p>The Alliance says some early adopters may be tempted to go off-grid without a decent FiT, but given <a href=\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/battery-storage\/comparison-table\/\">solar battery pricing<\/a> still has some way to go before broad adoption and the larger solar capacity required to go off-grid, few are likely to do so.<\/p>\n<p>The Tasmanian Renewable Energy Alliance is concerned <a href=\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/solar101.html\"> home solar<\/a> is being treated as the poor cousin to some of the state&#8217;s bigger plans, such as Battery of the Nation. If a review isn&#8217;t started soon, there&#8217;s the risk of it being rushed and a poor outcome for solar owners. There&#8217;s also the prospect of it perhaps not happening at all.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cThe government is clearly focused on looking at the benefits of big projects such as pumped hydro and additional connections to the mainland.\u201d <a href=\"http:\/\/tasrenew.org.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/2018-06-26-TREA-FiT-media.pdf\"> said<\/a> Alliance CEO Jack Gilding. \u201cThe state government needs to work with the Tasmanian households who are investing their own money in making our energy system more secure, more decentralised, more renewable and more affordable.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The final <a href=\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/blog\/large-scale-solar-tasmania-mb0170\/\">Energy Security Taskforce report<\/a> released last year acknowledged small-scale solar and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/battery-storage\/\">battery storage<\/a> can play a role in helping secure Tasmania&#8217;s energy future, although it stated the contribution would be small.<\/p>\n<p>According to the most recent information from Australia&#8217;s Clean Energy Regulator, there are approximately 31,956 small scale solar power systems (&lt;100kW) installed throughout Tasmania.
