These figures use satellite and weather data for Goorambat from 2005 to 2023 and already allow for heat, wiring and inverter losses. They don't know your roof: shade, pitch and the faces available decide the real number. Try the roof calculator for your own direction and pitch.
Solar in North East Victoria
The north-east combines hot Murray Valley summers around Wodonga and Wangaratta with cold, frosty alpine valleys around Bright and Mount Beauty. Output is strong across the region, many homes are on acreage, and storms and bushfires make power outages a real concern for some properties.
North East Victoria is on the AusNet Services network. Your distributor sets how much you can export and approves the connection; we apply for you before anything is ordered.
Hot summers, high output
Goorambat gets more sun than Melbourne, and summer air conditioning lines up with peak solar output, which is where the biggest savings come from. Panels lose a little efficiency on the hottest days, so we allow for heat in the design, leave airflow under the panels and keep inverters out of direct afternoon sun.
Acreage, sheds and pumps
Around Goorambat, many properties have sheds, bores or pumps and long distances between buildings. Panels can go on a shed roof or a ground frame, cable runs are designed to keep voltage drop within the wiring rules, and daytime pumping is one of the cheapest ways to use your own solar. Some rural lines (including SWER lines) have tight export limits, which we confirm before you commit. Solar for rural properties.
What solar could save in Goorambat
For a home paying $450 a quarter with someone in some days, the calculator suggests a 6.6 kW system saving about $600–800 a year, or $1,050–1,400 with a 10 kWh battery. Your own bill gives a better answer: use the calculator below.
