Solar in Canterbury

At around 2600 people per square kilometre, Canterbury homes generally have a usable north or a good east-west split. That is the difference between a system that pays back and one that argues with itself. Canterbury is at approximately 70 metres. On the flats the east-west split is often the better design, spreading output across the day instead of peaking at noon.

Canterbury sits 10 kilometres from the city. Established street trees are mature here, which is lovely to live with and expensive to model around. In Boroondara, which includes Canterbury, the paperwork that actually matters is the distributor's, not the council's, unless the building is protected.

Canterbury is bracketed by Balwyn and Camberwell, both of which we are in regularly, so scheduling here is rarely the hard part. Postcode 3126, about 3 square kilometres, 7800 residents at the 2021 census: that is the shape of Canterbury inside Boroondara.

For what it is worth when we are on the roof: The first subdivision in the area came in 1885, when Michael Logan created the 'Claremont Park Estate' within the area of Canterbury Road, Bryson Street, Prospect Hill Road and Logan Street. Tile age and batten condition follow from that history. Coverage around Canterbury extends through Balwyn, Camberwell, Hawthorn East and Kew East without any change in how a job is quoted.

The run from Boronia to Canterbury is about 18.7 kilometres west. That is a normal day for us, not a special trip. And on the history that shaped the streets: In 1900 Snowden's estate was subdivided and sold off to form what is now Monomeath Avenue and residents such as notable architect Percey Kernot and prominent citizen George Coghill moved in.

One more piece of local background: == History == The railway station is in many ways responsible for the suburb's existence: before the opening of the railway to the City in 1882, the area was a semi-rural area.
