Bushy hills south east of Daylesford, named after the falls on Sailors Creek.

Sailors Falls

What Sailors Falls needs from a system.

Sailors Falls takes its name from the falls on Sailors Creek, a tributary of the Loddon River, and sits about eight kilometres from Daylesford. It is a small locality of bush blocks and rural homes in hilly country.

Steep ground and creek gullies make for houses with awkward aspects, and the same slope that gives a view can put half the block in shade by mid afternoon. A site visit for a place like this is really a sun and shade study, done with an eye on where the cable and conduit can actually be laid.

Questions

Asked about solar in Sailors Falls.

Does a steep block make solar harder to install?
It can make access and cable routes harder, and it often changes which roof or ground area is worth using. A slope facing north is an advantage, while a slope facing south or into a gully can rule a spot out, so the first job is to see where the light really falls.
What size solar should I be looking at in Sailors Falls?
Nearby, we have installed anything from 5.5 kW to 24 kW, with about 10 kW in the middle. The right size for you comes from your bill and your roof.
What battery sizes have you installed near Sailors Falls?
Anything from 5.5 kWh to 54 kWh on recent jobs nearby, with about 24 kWh most typical. Your evening and overnight use sets the size.
Do you work with single phase and three phase supply near Sailors Falls?
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.
