A small town below a railway viaduct, bypassed by the freeway, with mineral springs nearby.
Taradale
What Taradale needs from a system.
Taradale was settled after gold was found in central Victoria in the early 1850s, and its great landmark is the Taradale Viaduct, which carries the railway 36 metres above Back Creek. It sits at about 384 metres, has been bypassed by the Calder Freeway, and has a riverside park, a mineral spring and the Fryers Ridge wildflower reserve close by.
The town is named after a house in Scotland, and several of its streets are named for scientists. For the houses here, whether old or new, the usual order of work is the switchboard, then the roof, then the battery.

Questions
Asked about solar in Taradale.
- Do you need a battery to get value from solar?
- No. Panels alone work well for a household that uses a lot of power in the day. A battery makes sense when most of the use is in the evening or when you want backup, and we help you decide which of those describes you.
- How big a solar system do people put in around Taradale?
- About 9 kW is the middle of what we have put in closest to Taradale, with the range running from 3 kW up to 24 kW. We size yours from your bill and what your roof can hold.
- What battery sizes have you installed near Taradale?
- Anything from 16 kWh to 48 kWh on recent jobs nearby, with about 25 kWh most typical. Your evening and overnight use sets the size.
- Do you work with single phase and three phase supply near Taradale?
- 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.
