Trentham East
What Trentham East needs from a system.
Trentham East sits about seven kilometres east of Trentham and seventeen kilometres west of Woodend, in the Macedon Ranges Shire. It is a mix of farmland and bush blocks in cold country, with the Pig and Whistle Hotel as its landmark.
The climate is Trentham's: cold, high and often frosty, with long winter evenings. Houses here need real heating, and a heat pump for heating and hot water running on rooftop solar, with a battery for the evenings, is often the sensible way to look at it.

Questions
Asked about solar in Trentham East.
- Is a heat pump up to a frosty winter on the plateau?
- Modern heat pumps work in cold conditions, but the model and the sizing matter. We choose one rated for low temperatures and size it for the coldest mornings, not for an average day.
- How big a solar system do people put in around Trentham East?
- About 10 kW is the middle of what we have put in closest to Trentham East, with the range running from 4 kW up to 24 kW. We size yours from your bill and what your roof can hold.
- What battery sizes have you installed near Trentham East?
- 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 Trentham East?
- 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.
