Solar and batteries in Dean.
Forest and farm country south east of Creswick, with a goldfields post office history back to 1861.
Dean
What Dean needs from a system.
Dean lies about ten kilometres south east of Creswick, in the country where goldfields history meets forest and farmland. Its post office opened in 1861 and closed in 1980, and the old hotel has shut, so it is now a scattered rural community rather than a village.
Old diggings can leave uneven ground and shafts that have been filled, so a ground mount here starts with asking what is under the soil. Bush blocks with a lot of canopy mean the shade study matters, and there are plenty of cases where a shed roof clear of the trees beats the house.

Questions
Asked about solar in Dean.
- Is old mining ground a problem for ground mounted panels?
- It can be if the ground has been disturbed or has shallow workings. We ask about known diggings before we choose a spot, and we use footings suited to the soil rather than assuming it is solid.
- What size solar system suits a home around Dean?
- The systems we have finished nearest to Dean run from about 7.5 kW to 24 kW, and the middle of that is about 9.5 kW. Your bill and your roof set the real number.
- What battery sizes have you installed near Dean?
- Anything from 8 kWh to 54 kWh on recent jobs nearby, with about 18 kWh most typical. Your evening and overnight use sets the size.
- Who handles the connection to the power network?
- We do. The connection application is part of the job.
