Sutton Grange

What Sutton Grange needs from a system.

Sutton Grange is surrounded by hills, including Mount Alexander, in country with a high proportion of quartz and granite in the soil. Its granite school building from 1870 survived the 1944 bushfires, and a cheese factory built around 1895 was known for its cheese until it closed in 1927. The community hall is the one public facility left.

Houses here are farms and rural homes in hilly country, some with wide views and some tucked into gullies. A hillside site can give an excellent view of the sun or a deep shadow, and both are worth checking in winter when the sun is low.

Asked about solar in Sutton Grange.

It can. We keep arrays and cables away from sensitive habitat and watercourses, use existing cleared ground where possible and discuss any native vegetation rules with you before placing a ground mount.
What size solar system suits a home around Sutton Grange?
The systems we have finished nearest to Sutton Grange run from about 3 kW to 7.5 kW, and the middle of that is about 6.5 kW. Your bill and your roof set the real number.
How big a battery do people get around Sutton Grange?
The batteries we have finished nearest to Sutton Grange run from about 16 kWh to 16.5 kWh, with about 16 kWh in the middle. What you use after dark decides yours.
Do you work with single phase and three phase supply near Sutton Grange?
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.
