Service area
Solar and batteries in Newlyn.
A farming village on the highway between Creswick and Daylesford, sitting at about 450 metres.
Newlyn
What Newlyn needs from a system.
Newlyn was first settled by Creswick miners who turned to farming when the alluvial gold got harder to find. It has a hotel, a recreation reserve, an old school building from 1887, an antiques shop with a cottage garden nursery and a football netball club, and it sits at about 452 metres.
That is lower and a little milder than Daylesford or Trentham, so winter generation is better here than in the forest country to the east. The older cottages in the village need their wiring checked before anything big is added, while the farms around it are more about pumps and sheds.

Questions
Asked about solar in Newlyn.
- Is Newlyn sunnier than Daylesford for solar?
- It sits lower and in more open country, so it tends to have less shade and fewer cold, foggy mornings, which helps. The actual answer for your roof comes from a shading check, not from the suburb name.
- What size solar should I be looking at in Newlyn?
- Nearby, we have installed anything from 7.5 kW to 24 kW, with about 9.5 kW in the middle. The right size for you comes from your bill and your roof.
- What size battery suits a home near Newlyn?
- About 18 kWh is the middle of what we have fitted closest to Newlyn, and the range goes from 8 kWh to 54 kWh. We work yours out from your evening and overnight use.
- Who handles the connection to the power network?
- We do. The connection application is part of the job.
