Harcourt
What Harcourt needs from a system.
Harcourt sits in a valley at the foot of Mount Alexander and was once the premier apple growing region in Australia. It still grows apples and makes wine and cider, holds the Harcourt Applefest each March, and the granite quarried here has gone into memorials and buildings across the country.
Orchards and their cool stores are heavy electrical users, with refrigeration that works hardest when it is hot. That load lines up well with the sun, so for a grower or a packing shed the question is how much of the daytime refrigeration can be covered by panels.

Questions
Asked about solar in Harcourt.
- Can solar run a cool room for fruit?
- It can carry a good share of the load, because cool rooms work hardest on hot, sunny days. We look at the compressor sizes and their start currents and decide whether a battery is worth adding or whether daytime solar alone is enough.
- What size solar system suits a home around Harcourt?
- The systems we have finished nearest to Harcourt run from about 3 kW to 11 kW, and the middle of that is about 7.5 kW. Your bill and your roof set the real number.
- What battery sizes have you installed near Harcourt?
- Anything from 16 kWh to 25 kWh on recent jobs nearby, with about 16.5 kWh most typical. Your evening and overnight use sets the size.
- Do you work with single phase and three phase supply near Harcourt?
- 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.
