Redesdale
What Redesdale needs from a system.
Redesdale sits on the Campaspe River at about 290 metres, much lower than the ranges to the south, and was once the end of a branch railway that ran from 1891 to 1954. It has a primary school, a store, a hall, a bluestone hotel and the Redesdale Bridge, an iron lattice truss bridge from 1867 and 1868 that is on the Victorian Heritage Register.
Being lower and further north makes it warmer than Trentham or Woodend, so the winter sun is kinder and summer heat is a bigger consideration. Batteries and inverters should be sited out of the afternoon sun, and farms in a district like this have pumps and sheds as well as houses to power.

Questions
Asked about solar in Redesdale.
- Does summer heat matter for batteries?
- Yes. Batteries and inverters last longer and perform better when they stay cool, so we place them on a shaded wall, in a ventilated shed or garage, and never in the full afternoon sun.
- What size solar system suits a home around Redesdale?
- The systems we have finished nearest to Redesdale run from about 3 kW to 9 kW, and the middle of that is about 6.5 kW. Your bill and your roof set the real number.
- What battery sizes have you installed near Redesdale?
- Anything from 16 kWh to 25 kWh on recent jobs nearby, with about 16.5 kWh most typical. Your evening and overnight use sets the size.
- Who handles the connection to the power network?
- We do. The connection application is part of the job.

Everything, in Redesdale.
