Kingston
What Kingston needs from a system.
Kingston lies about nine kilometres north east of Creswick, at the foot of Spring Hill, with the volcano Mount Kooroocheang just to the north. The village has a restored Commercial Hotel, a former church and a heritage listed Avenue of Honour of 285 elm trees, and the old gold mines are still marked on the hills around it.
The basalt around here holds groundwater, so bores and the pumps that go with them are part of rural life. Those pumps are often the heavy loads, and sizing the inverter and the battery to start them is part of the design, as is checking whether the older wiring is up to it.

Questions
Asked about solar in Kingston.
- Can a solar system run a bore pump?
- Yes, if the inverter is sized for the pump's starting surge. We check the pump's rating and the supply type, and for larger pumps a soft starter or a dedicated solar pump setup can be the better option.
- What size solar should I be looking at in Kingston?
- Nearby, we have installed anything from 7.5 kW to 24 kW, with about 9.5 kW in the middle. The right size for you comes from your bill and your roof.
- How big a battery do people get around Kingston?
- The batteries we have finished nearest to Kingston run from about 16.5 kWh to 54 kWh, with about 19 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.
