Barkstead
What Barkstead needs from a system.
Barkstead is a small rural locality in Moorabool Shire, in the farming country between Ballarat and Ballan. Only a few dozen people live there, and it shares a Ballarat postcode.
Many rural properties like this depend on their own bore or tanks, their own heating and a long driveway. A solar and battery system that fits that pattern is built around the essentials, such as pumps, the fridge and heating, and is sized from the loads you actually run.
