Solar and batteries in Maldon.
Australia's first notable town, where gold was found in 1853, with a Beehive Chimney and Mount Tarrengower.
Maldon
What Maldon needs from a system.
Maldon was declared a town in 1854 and in 1966 was named by the National Trust as Australia's first notable town. It has kept its nineteenth century look, with the Beehive Chimney, a museum in the old shire hall, a vintage machinery museum and Mount Tarrengower with its fire tower. It sits at about 358 metres.
Because the whole town is valued for its appearance, panels on street facing roofs are often not an option. The rear roof, a garage or a shed can carry them instead, and the older cottages need switchboard upgrades. The town is a retreat for artists and writers, and a home studio or workshop brings its own loads.

Questions
Asked about solar in Maldon.
- Is solar allowed in a heritage town like Maldon?
- Often yes, with conditions. Planning rules can limit panels on the street side of a roof, so we usually look at the back roof, an outbuilding or a ground mount, and we recommend checking with the shire before you commit.
- How big a solar system do people put in around Maldon?
- About 7.5 kW is the middle of what we have put in closest to Maldon, with the range running from 3 kW up to 11 kW. We size yours from your bill and what your roof can hold.
- How big a battery do people get around Maldon?
- The batteries we have finished nearest to Maldon run from about 16 kWh to 24 kWh, with about 16.5 kWh in the middle. What you use after dark decides yours.
- Do you work with single phase and three phase supply near Maldon?
- 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.
