Local knowledge

A growing town with cold winters

Mount Barker is growing fast, and plenty of homes here are new builds. If you're building, talk to us before the plaster goes up. We can run cabling for solar, a battery and an EV charger while the walls are open, which saves mess and money later.

Winters here are colder and foggier than on the Adelaide plains, so heating loads jump and solar output drops. In Adelaide a system makes about 2.4 kWh per kW a day in winter against about 5.8 in summer, and Mount Barker's fog and cloud can pull winter lower. We size with that in mind and pair it with efficient reverse cycle air con and heat pump hot water.

Out towards Echunga, Macclesfield and Wistow, lifestyle blocks bring sheds, pumps and workshops. Some suit a three phase upgrade to carry the load and fit a bigger inverter.

FAQ

Questions people ask us.

Do you service Mount Barker and nearby towns?

Yes, including Mount Barker, Littlehampton, Nairne, Hahndorf, Echunga, Macclesfield and Wistow. It's under an hour from our Hackham base.

Can you install solar on a new build?

Yes, and earlier is better. If we're involved before the plaster goes up, we can run cabling for solar, a battery and an EV charger while the walls are open.

Can solar still perform well in Mount Barker winters?

Yes, though it makes less than in summer. Adelaide systems make roughly 40% of their summer output in winter, and the Hills can be cloudier. We size systems for that, so winter bills still come down.

Will my roof structure be checked before solar installation?

Yes. We look at roof condition, material and fixing points at the quote, as well as your switchboard and wiring.

Can solar systems be designed to allow future expansion?

Yes. We can choose a battery-ready inverter and leave room for more panels or an EV charger where SA Power Networks limits allow.

Where should a battery go in a cold Mount Barker winter?

Usually in the garage or on a sheltered wall, out of frost, rain and the hot afternoon sun. Batteries have a working temperature range, and the Hills get colder than the plains, so we pick the spot at the site visit and check the clearances.
