Croydon sits at about 2029 people per square kilometre, standard detached housing, where a garage or external wall gives a battery the clearance and shade it needs. At approximately 124 metres, Croydon has a mix of roof aspects, so we size the battery from the modelled array output rather than a rule of thumb.
Croydon is about 30 kilometres from the CBD. Larger newer homes here have bigger arrays and bigger evening loads, which is the combination a battery suits best. In Maroondah, which includes Croydon, we lodge the connection paperwork rather than leaving it with you.
Being next to Croydon Hills and Croydon North means Croydon is almost never a standalone trip for our crew. Croydon is postcode 3136, roughly 14.1 square kilometres of Maroondah, and held 28608 residents at the 2021 census.
A note on how Croydon developed: On 1 August 1884 it was renamed Croydon railway station. It tells us whether to expect single or three-phase supply. We are across Croydon along with Croydon Hills, Croydon North, Croydon South and Kilsyth, on the same rates and the same certificate.
Boronia is our base, roughly 7.9 kilometres north of Croydon. Short distances like that are why we can commit to a time and keep it. The suburb has Croydon railway station, and in Melbourne a station is usually the oldest point of a suburb with newer housing spreading out from it.
There is more to the local history than that: == History ==
Dating back to 1840 the land was first utilised by settlers for grazing and the first road cut through the area now known as Croydon, was initially known as Sawmill Road, as a sawmill was nearby. It is also worth knowing that The Post Office opened on 1 December 1883 after the railway line was established.
