Service area
Solar and batteries in Newham.
Farm country near Hanging Rock, settled as a pastoral station in 1847 and home to a famous hall.
Newham
What Newham needs from a system.
Newham began as a pastoral station in 1847, when it was called Dryden's Rock, and it sits at about 580 metres between Kyneton, Woodend and Lancefield. It is close to Hanging Rock, and its Mechanics' Hall, built in 1905, is credited as the birthplace of the Victorian Farmers Union.
The district is open farmland with a general store, a winery and a primary school, and big skies. On large rural properties the house can be a long way from the road, so cable runs and the position of the switchboard matter, and sheds are an obvious home for a generous array.

Questions
Asked about solar in Newham.
- How far can the panels be from the house?
- A long way, in principle, but the longer the cable the thicker it must be to avoid losing power. If the shed is far from the house, we usually talk through running the panels to a local inverter at the shed or upsizing the cable, whichever suits the layout.
- How big a solar system do people put in around Newham?
- About 10.5 kW is the middle of what we have put in closest to Newham, with the range running from 4 kW up to 21 kW. We size yours from your bill and what your roof can hold.
- What battery sizes have you installed near Newham?
- Anything from 14 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 Newham?
- 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.
