Pastoria

What Pastoria needs from a system.

Pastoria lies in the Cobaw Ranges roughly ten kilometres north of Kyneton, and is a small rural district with a handful of farms and a very small population. Its neighbours are Pastoria East and Pipers Creek.

Hilly farm country gives a house views and exposure in equal measure. Roofs facing the right way catch good winter sun, but wind loads are real on the ridges, and the way a system is mounted and fixed down matters as much as the number of panels.

Questions

Asked about solar in Pastoria.

What difference does the roof pitch make?
A steeper roof catches the low winter sun better, while a flatter one favours summer. For cold country we often favour a steeper pitch, and where a roof is flat we can angle the panels on frames to suit.
What size solar system suits a home around Pastoria?
The systems we have finished nearest to Pastoria run from about 4 kW to 21 kW, and the middle of that is about 10 kW. Your bill and your roof set the real number.
What battery sizes have you installed near Pastoria?
Anything from 16 kWh to 48 kWh on recent jobs nearby, with about 24.5 kWh most typical. Your evening and overnight use sets the size.
Do you work with single phase and three phase supply near Pastoria?
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.
