Solar in Macedon Ranges, Melton and Moorabool
The Macedon Ranges are cool and wet by Victorian standards, with frosty winters and heavy tree cover in places, while Melton and Bacchus Marsh are drier, more open and growing fast. Shade from established trees is the main design question in the ranges; in the new estates it is usually roof layout.
