It's not a coincidence, and it's not just a "standard size" installers default to. There's a specific, practical reason it's become the most common residential solar system size in the state — and it comes down to a Tasmanian building approval rule most homeowners have never heard of. In this guide, we'll break down exactly what an 8.5kW system is, why it's sized the way it...]]></description><link>https://www.solvitecsolar.com.au/post/why-an-8-5kw-solar-system-is-tasmania-s-most-popular-size-and-what-s-actually-in-it</link><guid isPermaLink="false">6a82cc3693b7f4458e17b0a7</guid><pubDate>Mon, 17 Aug 2026 09:10:05 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/c316d9_f257bd3085cb433c8c6c47152692f9e0~mv2.png/v1/fit/w_1000,h_1000,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>Yasir Murtaza</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[What a Proper Solar Consultation Should Actually Look Like]]></title><description><![CDATA[Solar is one of the biggest purchases most households will ever make.

Yet a lot of "consultations" in this industry are ten-minute chats that end with a quote and a signature. At Solveitech Solar, we don't think that's good enough. Here's what we believe an ideal solar consultation should cover, and why we run ours the way we do.
