Rocklyn
What Rocklyn needs from a system.
Rocklyn had a railway station on the line between Ballarat and Daylesford, opened in 1887 and closed in 1953. The trains have gone, the station has gone, and what is left is a very small rural community spread across farmland.
With so few houses, a farm here is often a long way from its neighbours, and an outage is something you deal with yourself. A battery with a proper backup circuit is worth looking at alongside the panels, to keep essentials running.

Questions
Asked about solar in Rocklyn.
- What does a backup circuit actually keep running?
- Whatever we wire to it, typically the fridge, freezer, lights, pumps and some power points. Running the whole house through an outage needs a much larger battery, so we agree the list first and size to that.
- What size solar should I be looking at in Rocklyn?
- Nearby, we have installed anything from 7.5 kW to 24 kW, with about 9.5 kW in the middle. The right size for you comes from your bill and your roof.
- How big a battery do people get around Rocklyn?
- The batteries we have finished nearest to Rocklyn run from about 8 kWh to 54 kWh, with about 18 kWh in the middle. What you use after dark decides yours.
- Who handles the connection to the power network?
- We do. The connection application is part of the job.
