Shepherds Flat
What Shepherds Flat needs from a system.
Shepherds Flat is about eleven kilometres north of Daylesford and was settled by Swiss Italian families in the 1850s gold rush years. It is home to one of the first cricket bat willow farms in Australia, which gives the locality a very particular look of tall willows along its creeks.
The land opens out here compared with the forest country to the south, so there is more sun and less shade than around Hepburn. Farm sheds and old dairy buildings are common, and a big, well sited shed roof can carry a larger array than most houses could.

Questions
Asked about solar in Shepherds Flat.
- Can I put solar on an old dairy or stone outbuilding?
- Sometimes, provided the structure can carry the weight and fixings safely. We check the roof frame and the sheeting first, and if the building is not suited to it, a ground mount nearby is usually a sound alternative.
- What size solar should I be looking at in Shepherds Flat?
- 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 Shepherds Flat?
- 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 Shepherds Flat?
- 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.
