Solar and batteries in Clunes.
A bluestone gold rush town on open grassland, where Victoria's first registered gold find was made in 1850.
Clunes
What Clunes needs from a system.
Clunes lies on open grassland and pasture at about 310 metres, and it is known for the first registered gold discovery in Victoria, in 1850. It keeps its Victorian streetscape of bluestone churches and old shopfronts, and its Booktown Festival, which began in 2007, brings visitors every year.
With so many period buildings, planning rules can decide what is possible on the street front, so we look first at rear slopes, verandahs and outbuildings. Out of town the land is open grazing country with little shade and plenty of wind, which suits ground mounts.

Questions
Asked about solar in Clunes.
- Can panels go on a bluestone building in a heritage town?
- Often only on the less visible roof planes, and only after the planning rules have been checked. Where the building itself cannot take them, a rear shed or garage is a common alternative.
- Who handles the connection to the power network?
- We do. The connection application is part of the job.

Everything, in Clunes.
