Blind BightWhat we see in Blind Bight homes
Most of Blind Bight's housing is estate-built since the mid 2000s, in the City of Casey corridor about 19 minutes from Somerville. Good roofs, modern wiring and, in the newest streets, no gas connection to begin with. That makes Blind Bight a solar, battery and EV suburb first, with heat pumps and induction for the earlier estates that were plumbed for gas.
With no mains gas to remove, the Blind Bight plan is about generation and storage: a solar array sized for the property, a battery big enough for the evening and for outages, heat pump hot water timed to the solar, and an EV charger where the cars are. Solar Victoria rebates and loans and the federal battery discount all apply, and three-phase supply where it exists opens up larger systems.
Blind Bight is regular territory for our crews, and a site inspection there is usually within the week. We design every job as one system, so the solar is sized for the heat pump it will run and the switchboard is checked before the EV charger is quoted.
