Mount Egerton

What Mount Egerton needs from a system.

Mount Egerton is set on the mountain of the same name, in hilly country that is cold and windy, with snow in some winters. A state forest lies to the east, and the bushfire risk in summer is high. Gold was found in 1853, mining ended in 1910, and the old mine and battery are still there.

The general store closed in 2010 and reopened in 2023, and the primary school has been open since 1877. Up here the conditions are demanding in both directions: heavy winter heating, strong wind on the mounting, and fire to plan around, so every placement decision for the equipment counts.

Questions

Asked about solar in Mount Egerton.

What does a cold windy site mean for the mounting?
Stronger frames and fixings rated for the wind, with the array attached to solid structure and not just to the sheeting. We tell you if a particular roof is not suited, and offer a ground mount or a sheltered position if it is better.
Who handles the connection to the power network?
We do. The connection application is part of the job.

What we do here

Everything, in Mount Egerton.

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.
