Gisborne South
What Gisborne South needs from a system.
Gisborne South is made up almost entirely of large acreage blocks, with vineyards, olive groves, alpacas and horses. It has no commercial centre of its own and residents head into Gisborne for services. It sits just outside Melbourne's green wedge, in an area that people move to for room and a tree change.
On a block like that there are several roofs to choose from and usually room for a ground mount too. House, stables, shed and workshop can each run their own loads, so a system here is a matter of working out the sun on each building and deciding whether to run one larger array or two smaller ones.

Questions
Asked about solar in Gisborne South.
- Can solar run horse stables and arena lighting?
- It can, if the loads are counted and the wiring is sized for the distance. We look at the lights, pumps, hot water for the wash bay and any heating, then decide whether the stable roof or the house roof is the right place for panels.
- What size solar system suits a home around Gisborne South?
- The systems we have finished nearest to Gisborne South run from about 4 kW to 19.5 kW, and the middle of that is about 11 kW. Your bill and your roof set the real number.
- What battery sizes have you installed near Gisborne South?
- Anything from 14 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 Gisborne South?
- 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.
