Metcalfe East
What Metcalfe East needs from a system.
Metcalfe East is a small rural locality in Mount Alexander Shire, with a population of only a couple of dozen people and a Kyneton postcode. It lies east of Metcalfe, in quiet farming country.
With so few households, services are a drive away and anyone out here is used to self reliance. A system with clear labelling, remote monitoring and a battery sized for the essentials suits a place like this, and ground mounts are an option wherever the roof is poor.
