Solar in Kimberley

Kimberley is hot and dry with very little cloud, so solar systems here enjoy high sunshine hours for most of the year. Sol Plaatje Municipality supplies the city, and grid-tied or hybrid systems must be registered and approved with it, with some outlying farms on Eskom. The old Victorian and Edwardian houses in Belgravia and Kimberley North typically have corrugated iron roofs, sometimes under heritage rules that affect how panels are fitted, while newer homes use concrete tiles. Dust and windblown grit soil panels, summer heat tests inverters and winter nights are cold. Hybrid backup, solar geysers, borehole pumps and commercial rooftops are popular requests.

Typical commercial solar requests in the area come from:

  • Family homes: small home-office or shop-front systems on a family house that doubles as a workplace
  • Shops, offices and schools: shops, offices, schools and clinics using rooftop panels to cut daytime grid use and cover outages
  • Farms, smallholdings and lodges: packhouses, dairies and workshops running on daytime solar, often with a generator as backup
  • Factories and warehouses: large factory and warehouse roofs, carports and grid-tied arrays sized to heavy daytime machinery loads
  • Townhouses and flats: body corporate systems that power lifts, lighting and water pumps in the common areas
  • Estate homes: clubhouse, gatehouse and common-area systems that offset the estate's daytime lighting and pump loads

Frequently asked questions

What will it cost in Kimberley?
It depends on the size of the system, the equipment chosen, the roof, the distance from the inverter to the distribution board, the paperwork for your electricity supplier and how soon you need it done. Tick your loads on the form and a commercial solar installer working in Kimberley will quote you.
Will someone come out to look at the property?
Yes, for most jobs. The person quoting needs to see the roof, its direction and shading, the distribution board and where the inverter and batteries will go. Give your suburb on the form and they will arrange a visit.
How much sun is there in Kimberley?
A north-facing array in Kimberley makes about 5.8 kWh per kWp a day averaged over the year. Shade from trees or neighbours, the roof angle and dust change this, so the installer will check your roof.
