Solar in Welkom
Welkom has flat, open plains with clear skies and good sunshine through most of the year, and cold, bright winter days. Electricity is supplied by the Matjhabeng Local Municipality, with Eskom serving some surrounding areas, and grid-tied or hybrid systems must be registered and approved by the relevant supplier. Mine-era brick houses with tiled or corrugated roofs make up much of the housing, alongside businesses and workshops with large steel roofs. Hail, lightning and strong dry-season wind are the main risks, and dust settles on panels. Households interested in load-shedding backup and lower bills ask about hybrid systems and solar geysers, while farms look at pumps.
Typical backup power systems requests in the area come from:
- Family homes: a wall-mounted inverter and lithium battery keeping lights, Wi-Fi, fridge and gate motor on during outages
- Shops, offices and schools: battery backup for tills, card machines, servers, alarms and lights so trading carries on during load-shedding
- Factories and warehouses: three-phase backup for controls, cold chain and security, with generator integration for essential production
- Farms, smallholdings and lodges: backup for homesteads, milk tanks, pumps and security, usually with generator support for long outages
- Townhouses and flats: compact inverter and battery units for flats and townhouses, often needing body corporate approval
- Estate homes: larger home systems with neat battery cabinets that meet estate rules and cover security and fibre during outages
