Solar and batteries in Gordon.
A potato growing town in the Paddock Creek valley, with a spud festival every year.
Gordon
What Gordon needs from a system.
Gordon sits about 25 kilometres east of Ballarat in the Paddock Creek valley, in gently rolling foothills. George Gordon settled the district in 1838, gold was found in 1853, and many of the early settlers were Irish, which is how potato farming became part of the place. Gordon's Spudfest has been held every year since 2009.
The town has large semi rural blocks, which drew people on a tree change from the 1990s. Large blocks mean sheds and garages with their own roofs, and plenty of space for a ground mount, so an array here is less constrained than in a town lot.

Questions
Asked about solar in Gordon.
- Is a semi rural block big enough for a ground mount?
- Usually, yes. A ground mount needs open ground clear of shade, a path for the cable and space around it for access, and most large blocks have that. We mark out the right spot on site.
- What size solar system suits a home around Gordon?
- The systems we have finished nearest to Gordon run from about 7.5 kW to 18.5 kW, and the middle of that is about 9 kW. Your bill and your roof set the real number.
- What size battery suits a home near Gordon?
- About 18 kWh is the middle of what we have fitted closest to Gordon, and the range goes from 8 kWh to 54 kWh. We work yours out from your evening and overnight use.
- Who handles the connection to the power network?
- We do. The connection application is part of the job.
