Where we work
Solar & battery in Diggers Rest
Diggers Rest is open, windy growth corridor on Jemena's network, and both of those shape the install.
Open country, and a wind that has a clear run.
What actually matters in Diggers Rest
Mounting systems are engineered against the Australian wind loading standard, and how sheltered your site is decides how many brackets the job takes. A house with other houses around it is more sheltered than one facing open paddocks, and the exposed one can need more brackets, closer together, especially near the roof edges and corners.
Jemena's basic connection allows up to 10 kVA of inverter per phase, with exports capped at 5 kVA on a single phase home. The inverter has to stay online, because if Jemena cannot reach it the export limit falls to 0.5 kVA for the whole site. Good wifi at the inverter is part of the job, not an afterthought.
New estate homes bring split roofs and two storey work, which means edge protection under WorkSafe Victoria's falls rules. The garage is the natural home for the inverter and battery, on a cooler wall where you can.
