We are hoping to move over in the not too distant future, I have been offered a solar panel and was thinking of using it to power the out side lights and a fridge kept out side.

I have heard about a solar tax. is this just for main electric supply or would my set up come under this tax?

If all you've been offered is a panel, then forget it. You'd also need an inverter and a bank of batteries.

The last I read about solar tax was that the pending new law will exclude installations up to 10 kW.

If it were me, I'd go ahead. As it stands, the solar tax law is virtually unworkable and since shortly after its introduction has been slated to be repealed or replaced. I haven't got time to read the law at present, so can't give specific arguments. What you could do is fit an isolator switch to the circuit you intend to use the solar for. That would then make it an off-grid installation, which isn't affected by the law.
