Lauriston
What Lauriston needs from a system.
Lauriston is about eight kilometres west of Kyneton, in a gully on the Coliban River. A post office opened here in 1864 after gold was found, and the village is classed as a former mining town. Lauriston Reservoir, which serves Kyneton, lies about two kilometres to the south east.
A gully means shade, especially in winter, when the sun is low and the hills block it for hours. Houses here may find that the plain north facing roof does not get the sun a map would suggest, and a hilltop shed or a ground mount up the slope may be the better choice.

Questions
Asked about solar in Lauriston.
- Why does the time of year matter so much for shade?
- In winter the sun is low and hills and trees throw long shadows, so a roof that is fully lit in summer can lose hours in July. We check the shade for midwinter as well as summer, as that is when you most need the power.
- What size solar should I be looking at in Lauriston?
- Nearby, we have installed anything from 4.5 kW to 24 kW, with about 10 kW in the middle. The right size for you comes from your bill and your roof.
- How big a battery do people get around Lauriston?
- The batteries we have finished nearest to Lauriston run from about 5.5 kWh to 54 kWh, with about 24 kWh in the middle. What you use after dark decides yours.
- Do you work with single phase and three phase supply near Lauriston?
- 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.
