Woodend North

What Woodend North needs from a system.

Woodend North sits about four kilometres north of Woodend at roughly 550 metres, and has become a northern extension of the town. It began as Springfield, named for natural springs, and was renamed in 1884 to avoid confusion with another post office. Its flour mill, three hotels and school have all closed.

It is now a mix of housing, small farms and a little light industry. Because it is practically part of Woodend, the same thinking applies: cold winters, homes that may still run on gas for heating and hot water, and trees that shade older blocks. A shed or workshop can also be a good place for an array.

Questions

Asked about solar in Woodend North.

Is it worth replacing a gas hot water service with a heat pump?
Often, if the gas unit is nearing the end of its life or the household wants to get off gas. A heat pump hot water system running from solar uses little power, and we can time it to run in the middle of the day.

The systems we have finished nearest to Woodend North run from about 4 kW to 22.5 kW, and the middle of that is about 10 kW. Your bill and your roof set the real number.
What size battery suits a home near Woodend North?
About 24 kWh is the middle of what we have fitted closest to Woodend North, and the range goes from 5.5 kWh to 48 kWh. We work yours out from your evening and overnight use.
