Solar in Vermont South

Vermont South sits at about 1897 people per square kilometre, standard detached housing with roof planes big enough to lay a full array without awkward splits. Vermont South sits about 19 kilometres out in Whitehorse. Homes here are often the right size for solar and a battery together rather than solar alone.

Whitehorse covers Vermont South. We check the overlay on the address at quoting stage rather than discovering it after the panels arrive. Being next to Burwood East and Forest Hill means Vermont South is almost never a standalone trip for our crew.

Postcode 3133, about 6.3 square kilometres, 11954 residents at the 2021 census: that is the shape of Vermont South inside Whitehorse. Some local background that shows up on the roof: The original purchaser of the Morack Road area was John Lobb, who in 1862 subdivided the land into a village called Norwich. The era a suburb was built tells us what roofing material and pitch to expect.

Vermont South sits within a group of suburbs we are in constantly: Burwood East, Forest Hill, Glen Waverley and Vermont. Vermont South sits roughly 9.1 kilometres west of Boronia, where we are based. That distance is why a call here is answered from a van that is already in the area rather than from a call centre.

It is also worth knowing that The Burwood Rise estate, which occupies a large area between Livingstone and Stanley Roads (and around Dalroy Crescent & Consort Avenue), was developed between 1968 and 1971.
