Solar and batteries in Rochford.
A tiny farming district at about 550 metres, with a Victorian schoolhouse that is now a holiday rental.
Rochford
What Rochford needs from a system.
Rochford sits at about 550 metres, between Lancefield and Woodend, near Cobaw and Newham. It once had a hall, two churches and tennis courts, but most of that has gone. The red brick school building from 1857 and its 1870 residence still stand and have become a holiday rental.
It is quiet farm country, spread out. The old buildings are a reminder that stone and brick houses from the nineteenth century have very different wiring and roofs from a modern build, and each needs to be checked before anything is added to it.

Questions
Asked about solar in Rochford.
- Can a holiday rental use solar and a battery?
- Yes, and it suits the pattern because guest use is lumpy and often peaks in the evening. A battery covers the cooking, heating and lighting when guests arrive, and the system can be monitored remotely so you know it is running between visits.
- What size solar system suits a home around Rochford?
- The systems we have finished nearest to Rochford 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.
- How big a battery do people get around Rochford?
- The batteries we have finished nearest to Rochford run from about 16 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 Rochford?
- 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.
