Solar & battery in Daylesford
A house that's full every weekend and empty midweek needs sizing differently to a family home.
Short-stay properties have a completely different usage pattern.
What actually matters in Daylesford
Daylesford has a lot of accommodation properties, and they behave nothing like a normal home. Consumption spikes on weekends and holidays and drops to almost nothing midweek. Size that on an average and you'll export cheaply all week then buy expensively when the guests arrive.
Batteries change the maths on that pattern more than they do on a steady household — storing a quiet Wednesday's generation to cover Saturday night is exactly what storage is good at. It needs modelling on the real occupancy pattern though, not assumed.
It's also treed and elevated, so the Woodend shading and cold-climate points apply here as well.
