Mount Macedon
What Mount Macedon needs from a system.
Mount Macedon was built up by wealthy Melburnians in the nineteenth century as a cool summer retreat, and its large gardens and big houses are still the character of the town. It is cooler and wetter than the plains below, with an avenue of honour oaks that draws visitors every autumn and gardens the National Trust regards as nationally significant.
The 1983 Ash Wednesday fires burnt through the mountain and destroyed several historic properties, which is why fire safe placement of equipment is a first question here and not an afterthought. Big old houses also tend to have tall roofs, mature trees and long driveways, so the sun and the cable run both need working out on site.

Questions
Asked about solar in Mount Macedon.
- Can solar work on a large old house with mature trees around it?
- Sometimes the roof is not the right place, and a clearing in the garden or an outbuilding is. We map the shade through the day, and where a tree is the problem we say so plainly and let you decide whether it is worth looking at the tree or the array position.
- What size solar should I be looking at in Mount Macedon?
- Nearby, we have installed anything from 4 kW to 22.5 kW, with about 10.5 kW in the middle. The right size for you comes from your bill and your roof.
- What battery sizes have you installed near Mount Macedon?
- Anything from 5.5 kWh to 48 kWh on recent jobs nearby, with about 24 kWh most typical. Your evening and overnight use sets the size.
- Do you work with single phase and three phase supply near Mount Macedon?
- 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.
