Porcupine Ridge
What Porcupine Ridge needs from a system.
Porcupine Ridge is rural country of paddocks, dams and the occasional bush block, with only a small population spread across it. There is no main street, so almost everything a household needs is a drive away, and that shapes how people think about power.
Where the nearest neighbour is a paddock away, a battery with backup gives the house its own supply when a storm takes the lines down. Open pastoral land also means the roof is often the most favourably sited part of the property, with long, clear views to the north that suit panels.

Questions
Asked about solar in Porcupine Ridge.
- Can you quote a property that is down a long dirt driveway?
- Yes, we ask about the driveway because it affects the cable run, trenching and how equipment gets in. Photos of the approach and a sketch of where the house, shed and meter sit are enough to start with.
- What size solar system suits a home around Porcupine Ridge?
- The systems we have finished nearest to Porcupine Ridge run from about 4.5 kW to 24 kW, and the middle of that is about 10 kW. Your bill and your roof set the real number.
- What size battery suits a home near Porcupine Ridge?
- About 24 kWh is the middle of what we have fitted closest to Porcupine Ridge, 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 Porcupine Ridge?
- 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.
