North Blackwood
What North Blackwood needs from a system.
North Blackwood is a small locality in Hepburn Shire, north of the town of Blackwood and south of Trentham, and is often mixed up with Barrys Reef. A North Blackwood post office opened briefly in 1909 and was renamed Waldron in 1910, closing the same year.
It is a small, quiet area in the same climate as Trentham and Blackwood, which means cold winters, forest and the occasional storm outage. A design here has to cope with long grey runs in winter, so a heat pump and a decently sized battery are the usual starting points.

- Anything from 5.5 kWh to 54 kWh on recent jobs nearby, with about 24 kWh most typical. Your evening and overnight use sets the size.
