Solar and batteries in Bungaree.

A small township east of Ballarat, bypassed by the Western Freeway, with a post office dating to 1863.

Bungaree

What Bungaree needs from a system.

Bungaree is about 14 kilometres east of Ballarat and once sat on the main highway west, which now bypasses it to the north. The post office opened in 1863, and the former Morning Star Hotel is the landmark most people remember.

Because it is so close to Ballarat, a household here can live a country life with a short drive to the city. A battery to carry the evening peak, a charger for the car and a heat pump that runs on the day's solar are the things most worth discussing.

Questions

Asked about solar in Bungaree.

Why would a commuting household want a battery?
Because the house is empty while the sun is up and busy in the evening. A battery stores the day's solar for use when the household is home, instead of exporting it and buying power back later.
What size solar should I be looking at in Bungaree?
Nearby, we have installed anything from 8 kW to 20.5 kW, with about 18.5 kW in the middle. The right size for you comes from your bill and your roof.
Who handles the connection to the power network?
We do. The connection application is part of the job.

What we do here

Everything, in Bungaree.

We design the whole system rather than just the panels: solar, storage, hot water, climate and the electrical behind it. One design, one point of contact, and one company carrying the warranty afterwards.
