Musk

What Musk needs from a system.

Musk is a scatter of farms and bush blocks rather than a town, and its post office closed decades ago, so there is no centre to speak of. People live here for the space, which also means sheds, tanks and driveways long enough to matter when cables are being run.

That space is useful for solar. A north facing shed roof is often a better home for an array than a house tucked among trees, and a ground mount in a cleared paddock can be set at the steep angle a cold climate with low winter sun rewards.

Questions

Asked about solar in Musk.

Should the panels go on the house or the shed?
Whichever gets the most clean sun through winter, which on country like this is often the shed. We look at both roofs and the cable route, because a long run to a shed has to be sized properly or power is lost on the way.
What size solar should I be looking at in Musk?
Nearby, we have installed anything from 5.5 kW to 24 kW, with about 10 kW in the middle. The right size for you comes from your bill and your roof.
What size battery suits a home near Musk?
About 24 kWh is the middle of what we have fitted closest to Musk, and the range goes from 5.5 kWh to 54 kWh. We work yours out from your evening and overnight use.
Do you work with single phase and three phase supply near Musk?
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.

What we do here

Everything, in Musk.

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.
