Solar and batteries in Fryerstown.
A former gold rush boomtown south of Castlemaine, now a very quiet village of old stone and weatherboard.
Fryerstown
What Fryerstown needs from a system.
Fryerstown began as Fryer's Creek in 1854 and is said to have peaked at about 15,000 people during the gold rush. Today it is a village of a few hundred, with a public hall as its only functioning public building, and the court house, churches, school and hotels of the boom years have mostly gone.
The old buildings that remain were built long before electricity, and their wiring is a story of additions over the generations. Anyone adding solar or a heat pump to one of these houses starts with an inspection and often a new switchboard, then looks at the roof, which may have to be shared with heritage constraints.

Questions
Asked about solar in Fryerstown.
- Does a very old house need rewiring before it can have solar?
- Not necessarily the whole house. A licensed electrician inspects what is there, and often a new board and some safety upgrades are enough. Only the parts that are unsafe need to be replaced before the system goes on.
- What size solar system suits a home around Fryerstown?
- The systems we have finished nearest to Fryerstown run from about 3 kW to 24 kW, and the middle of that is about 9 kW. Your bill and your roof set the real number.
- What battery sizes have you installed near Fryerstown?
- Anything from 16 kWh to 48 kWh on recent jobs nearby, with about 24 kWh most typical. Your evening and overnight use sets the size.
- Do you work with single phase and three phase supply near Fryerstown?
- 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.
