South Canberra runs from Kingston and Griffith through Red Hill and Deakin to Yarralumla and Forrest — the oldest residential parts of the city, and some of its most heavily treed.

Age is the defining factor here. Much of South Canberra was built between the 1920s and 1960s, which means switchboards that often need an upgrade before an inverter can be connected, and roofs where the flashing detail matters more than it does on a modern estate.

The other constant is shade. These streets have the most mature canopy in Canberra, and a north-facing roof under a sixty-year-old elm behaves nothing like the same roof in Gungahlin. That is not a reason to avoid solar here — it is a reason to model it properly from aerial imagery rather than assume a number over the phone.
