Solar and batteries on a 2.5 acre lot
Sunny days and big roofs make solar a natural fit. Here's what to think about.
Dongara gets plenty of sunshine, and acreage gives you lots of roof space. Solar is a natural fit.
Roof space
House and shed roofs give room for a decent-sized system. North-facing roofs are ideal.
3-phase power
Every lot has 3-phase power, which can suit larger solar systems. Your installer will advise on what’s allowed.
Batteries
Batteries store solar power for evenings and can provide backup during outages.
Plan early
Think about solar when designing the house and shed: roof pitch, orientation and where the inverter and battery will go.
