Drummond

What Drummond needs from a system.

Drummond sits between Glenlyon to the south and Malmsbury to the north, roughly seventeen kilometres west of Kyneton. It is a farming district with a small primary school, a public hall and a war memorial along an avenue of honour trees.

Older farmhouses that have been added to over the decades are common in districts like this, and they usually mean the switchboard is a patchwork. Sorting the board out properly is the first job, because a battery or a heat pump connected to tired wiring is a problem in waiting.

Questions

Asked about solar in Drummond.

What should I check before adding a battery to an older farmhouse?
The switchboard, the earthing and whether the wiring can carry what you plan to add. A board with old fuses or mixed circuits often needs work before storage goes on, and it is better to know that at the start than part way through.
What size solar should I be looking at in Drummond?
Nearby, we have installed anything from 4.5 kW to 24 kW, with about 10 kW in the middle. The right size for you comes from your bill and your roof.
How big a battery do people get around Drummond?
The batteries we have finished nearest to Drummond run from about 5.5 kWh to 54 kWh, with about 24 kWh in the middle. What you use after dark decides yours.
Do you work with single phase and three phase supply near Drummond?
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.
