Solar and batteries in Clarkefield.

A small town on Jacksons Creek, between Sunbury and Romsey, with a hotel and stables from 1857.

Clarkefield

What Clarkefield needs from a system.

Clarkefield sits at about 308 metres on Jacksons Creek, around eleven kilometres north of Sunbury and fourteen south of Romsey. It was a pastoral run, named after the pastoralist Sir William Clarke, and its hotel and stables, established in 1857, are heritage listed.

It is lower, flatter and warmer than the hill country around Trentham, so solar gets a gentler winter, and summer heat is a bigger factor than frost. With Melbourne's commuter belt close, many households care about EV charging and a battery that handles the evening peak.

Questions

Asked about solar in Clarkefield.

Which direction should panels face on a flat block?
North gives the most energy across the year, but east and west can suit a household that uses more power in the morning or evening. We model both and let the household's pattern decide.
What size solar system suits a home around Clarkefield?
The systems we have finished nearest to Clarkefield run from about 4 kW to 19.5 kW, and the middle of that is about 14.5 kW. Your bill and your roof set the real number.
What size battery suits a home near Clarkefield?
About 23 kWh is the middle of what we have fitted closest to Clarkefield, and the range goes from 16 kWh to 48 kWh. We work yours out from your evening and overnight use.
Do you work with single phase and three phase supply near Clarkefield?
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.
