Franklinford
What Franklinford needs from a system.
Franklinford is a quiet locality near Mount Franklin, a former volcano. In 1841 the Loddon Aboriginal Protectorate Station was established here by Edward Stone Parker, and the place has deep significance to the Dja Dja Wurrung people. The old common school, now Franklinford Hall, is on the Victorian Heritage list.
Today it is mostly farms and small holdings in open country with long views. Mounting on any exposed roof should be specified for the wind rather than assumed, and open sky means a ground mounted array is often easy to site.

Questions
Asked about solar in Franklinford.
- If my property is heritage listed, can I still have solar?
- In many cases yes, but the listing controls what you can do to the listed building. A modern shed or a ground mounted array elsewhere on the land is a common way to have solar without touching a heritage building at all.
- What size solar should I be looking at in Franklinford?
- Nearby, we have installed anything from 7.5 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 Franklinford?
- The batteries we have finished nearest to Franklinford run from about 8 kWh to 54 kWh, with about 24.5 kWh in the middle. What you use after dark decides yours.
- Who handles the connection to the power network?
- We do. The connection application is part of the job.
