Solar and batteries in Newbury.
Quiet bush country south of Trentham, between the town and Blackwood, with a Buddhist monastery.
Newbury
What Newbury needs from a system.
Newbury lies about eight kilometres south of Trentham, on the road to Blackwood. It is a very small locality of bush blocks and farms, with a Buddhist monastery, in cold, quiet country.
Because it sits between Trentham and Blackwood, the conditions are the same as both: dense tree cover, steep ground in places and storms that can bring lines down. Backup power and careful siting of the array are the main talking points for houses here.

Questions
Asked about solar in Newbury.
- Does a storm outage affect a solar system with no battery?
- Yes. A standard grid connected system switches off when the grid goes down, as a safety measure, so without a battery or backup device the panels will not power the house during an outage. If outages concern you, plan for a battery with a backup circuit.
- What size solar should I be looking at in Newbury?
- 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 Newbury?
- About 24 kWh is the middle of what we have fitted closest to Newbury, 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 Newbury?
- 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.
