Lal Lal

What Lal Lal needs from a system.

Lal Lal sits on the Ballarat to Geelong railway line, about 23 kilometres south east of Ballarat. It began as a sheep run in 1845, then grew with mining for iron ore, lignite, clay and gold, and the railway arrived in 1862. The Lal Lal Falls and the Lal Lal Reservoir on the Moorabool River are close by, and the old iron smelting works is on the Victorian Heritage Register.

It is farm country, with houses scattered around the old mining workings. Ground mounts on disturbed ground need caution, and a shed or house roof that is clear of trees is usually the better starting point.

Questions

Asked about solar in Lal Lal.

Why does old industrial ground matter for a ground mount?
Because mining and smelting can leave fill, voids or contamination that make footings unreliable. We ask about the history of the land before choosing a spot and prefer roofs or well established ground.
Who handles the connection to the power network?
We do. The connection application is part of the job.

What we do here

Everything, in Lal Lal.

We design the whole system rather than just the panels: solar, storage, hot water, climate and the electrical behind it. One design, one point of contact, and one company carrying the warranty afterwards.
