Yandoit
What Yandoit needs from a system.
Yandoit lies about twenty one kilometres north of Daylesford. Alluvial gold was found here in 1854 and deep lead mining began in 1858, and the Swiss Italian settlers who followed built many of the stone buildings that still stand, along with a Mechanics Institute and a school.
Thick stone walls look wonderful and make life hard for anyone running new cables, so the route from the roof to the board often needs to go around the building rather than through it. Stone houses are also slow to warm up in winter, which is a good reason to look at efficient heating at the same time as solar.

Questions
Asked about solar in Yandoit.
- Can cabling be run through old stone walls without damaging them?
- We try to avoid cutting into stone at all. Conduit is usually taken along an existing opening, a roof void or the outside of the building, and we agree the route with you before any work starts.
- How big a solar system do people put in around Yandoit?
- About 10 kW is the middle of what we have put in closest to Yandoit, with the range running from 7.5 kW up to 24 kW. We size yours from your bill and what your roof can hold.
- What battery sizes have you installed near Yandoit?
- Anything from 16.5 kWh to 54 kWh on recent jobs nearby, with about 24.5 kWh most typical. Your evening and overnight use sets the size.
- Who handles the connection to the power network?
- We do. The connection application is part of the job.
