Blackburn sits at about 2496 people per square kilometre, standard detached housing, where a garage or external wall gives a battery the clearance and shade it needs. At about 98 metres, Blackburn is low and level, and summer heat on an exposed wall is the main siting consideration.
At roughly 16 kilometres from the CBD, Blackburn is middle-ring, where the federal battery discount has changed the payback maths considerably. For Blackburn, Whitehorse is not the approver. What governs a battery is the installation standard and the distributor's connection rules.
A job in Blackburn usually sits alongside something we already have booked in Blackburn North or Blackburn South that week. Blackburn is postcode 3130, roughly 5.8 square kilometres of Whitehorse, and held 14478 residents at the 2021 census.
Local context worth knowing: Blackburn railway station was built in 1882. Housing age is a fair guide to roof form and therefore to how much the array can charge. Blackburn sits inside a block we cover properly rather than occasionally. The neighbouring suburbs on that run are Blackburn North, Blackburn South, Box Hill and Box Hill North.
We are based in Boronia, about 12.5 kilometres west of Blackburn. Close enough that the person who quotes the job is the person who comes back to do it. Blackburn is served by Blackburn railway station. Streets nearest the line are generally the ones with the oldest switchboards.
