Solar in Pinetown
Pinetown sits on the hills inland of Durban, with warm, humid weather, frequent summer cloud and heavy rain, though winters are bright and dry. The suburbs fall under eThekwini Municipality, which requires grid-tied and hybrid systems to be registered and approved. Split-level houses in Hillcrest, Kloof and Cowies Hill have tile and IBR roofs on steep slopes with varied orientations, while townhouse complexes and the industrial areas have large flat or sheeted roofs. Lightning and summer storms are common, and the sea air reaches some areas, so surge protection and corrosion-resistant fittings are sensible. Hybrid backup, solar geysers and commercial rooftops are the usual 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
- 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
- Factories and warehouses: large factory and warehouse roofs, carports and grid-tied arrays sized to heavy daytime machinery loads
- 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
