Solar and batteries in Riddells Creek.
Bushland town in the southern foothills of the ranges, founded in 1841, on the Bendigo line.
Riddells Creek
What Riddells Creek needs from a system.
Riddells Creek was founded in 1841 and sits on the southern foothills of the Macedon Ranges at roughly 400 metres, on the Bendigo railway line. It is surrounded by bushland, with a creek running through the middle of town and two historic railway bridges, and Dromkeen, an old homestead, holds the Australian Children's Literature Collection.
That bush setting is what people love and what shapes the solar. Established trees mean shade, newer streets mean clear roofs, and it is rare to find a street where every house can use the same system. Each roof needs its own look at the shade through winter.

Questions
Asked about solar in Riddells Creek.
- Should I remove trees to get more out of solar?
- Usually not as a first step. Trees you value, or are protected, are better designed around, and often a different roof plane or a small ground mount gets round the problem without a chainsaw.
- How big a solar system do people put in around Riddells Creek?
- About 11 kW is the middle of what we have put in closest to Riddells Creek, with the range running from 4 kW up to 19.5 kW. We size yours from your bill and what your roof can hold.
- How big a battery do people get around Riddells Creek?
- The batteries we have finished nearest to Riddells Creek run from about 14 kWh to 48 kWh, with about 24 kWh in the middle. What you use after dark decides yours.
- Do you work with single phase and three phase supply near Riddells Creek?
- 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.
