Mia Mia
What Mia Mia needs from a system.
Mia Mia lies in the Heathcote wine region, on the Campaspe River, with cattle and sheep grazing and several vineyards producing shiraz. A memorial records that John and Reginald Duigan built the first Australian made aeroplane and flew it here in 1910. The Burke and Wills expedition is also remembered with a monument.
It is lower and warmer than the ranges, so frost is less of a worry than summer heat on equipment. A vineyard or farm shed roof can carry a large array, and the loads of irrigation, cooling and pumps give a clear reason to use the power in the day.

Questions
Asked about solar in Mia Mia.
- Can solar run irrigation pumps in summer?
- Yes, and the timing works well because irrigation runs when the sun is strongest. We size the system for the pump's starting load and can set it up so the pump runs from solar first.
- Who handles the connection to the power network?
- We do. The connection application is part of the job.
