Kooroocheang

What Kooroocheang needs from a system.

Kooroocheang is a very small rural locality built around Mount Kooroocheang, a dormant volcano close to Smeaton that is also called Smeaton Hill. The soil here comes from old basalt, and the mountain stands above the surrounding farmland.

A hill like that means exposure. Houses on the slopes get wide views and strong wind, and a roof facing the wrong way can be the only roof available. Careful placement of panels and a mounting designed for wind loads are the main points of attention for a place like this.

Questions

Asked about solar in Kooroocheang.

Can I mount panels on a hillside paddock?
Yes, if the ground is stable and the frame is anchored for the wind. We look at slope, soil and access, and choose a spot that faces the sun and is close enough to the house to keep the cable run sensible.
What size solar system suits a home around Kooroocheang?
The systems we have finished nearest to Kooroocheang run from about 7.5 kW to 24 kW, and the middle of that is about 10 kW. Your bill and your roof set the real number.
What battery sizes have you installed near Kooroocheang?
Anything from 8 kWh to 54 kWh on recent jobs nearby, with about 19 kWh most typical. Your evening and overnight use sets the size.
Who handles the connection to the power network?
We do. The connection application is part of the job.
