Bullarto
What Bullarto needs from a system.
Bullarto sits at about 750 metres and is a potato growing district, with a hall that hosts weddings and community events and a tractor pull held every March. The Daylesford Spa Country Railway still runs a tourist rail motor out to the station here.
That height makes for cold, wet winters and a short growing season, and it makes cold stores, sheds and farm workshops a big part of the load on many properties. Panels do not mind the cold, and the clear air can help, but the design needs to carry a long run of grey winter days.

Questions
Asked about solar in Bullarto.
- Does the cold at 750 metres hurt a solar system?
- Panels actually run efficiently in cold weather. The limits are shorter, cloudier days and the batteries, which should live in a sheltered spot out of hard frost. We plan the battery location as carefully as the panels.
- How big a solar system do people put in around Bullarto?
- About 10 kW is the middle of what we have put in closest to Bullarto, with the range running from 5.5 kW up to 24 kW. We size yours from your bill and what your roof can hold.
- What battery sizes have you installed near Bullarto?
- Anything from 5.5 kWh to 54 kWh on recent jobs nearby, with about 24 kWh most typical. Your evening and overnight use sets the size.
- Do you work with single phase and three phase supply near Bullarto?
- Yes. Our recent jobs nearby include both, and the inverter is chosen to match the supply at your place.
- Who handles the connection to the power network?
- We do. The connection application is part of the job.
