Where we work
Solar & battery in Bulla
On a rural block in Bulla the big shed roof is often the best spot for panels, as long as the cable run and the supply stack up.
The shed roof is tempting. Check three things first.
What actually matters in Bulla
A long run from a shed back to the meter is the first thing to check. Australian standards limit the voltage rise from the inverter to the grid connection point to 2 per cent, and on a long run that can mean heavier cable than the job first looks like it needs.
The second is the shed itself: purlin spacing, roof sheeting and any skylights all affect where panels can go and how people can safely work up there. The third is the supply. If the property has three phase power, Jemena's export cap is 15 kVA, against 5 kVA on single phase, which opens up a larger system.
An inverter in a shed still has to stay online for Jemena's emergency backstop, and the house modem may be a long way off. Sort that out in the design, and remote fault monitoring earns its keep when the inverter lives somewhere you do not walk past every day.
