Solar in Durban
Durban is warm and humid with a bright coast but frequent summer cloud and heavy rain, so output is a little lower than on the inland plateau even though the climate is mild all year. eThekwini Municipality supplies the metro and requires grid-tied and hybrid systems to be registered and approved. Salt air attacks fittings near the sea, so marine-grade mounting and corrosion protection are important, and strong coastal wind and summer storms test fixings. Apartment blocks, sectional-title complexes, factories around Pinetown and the port, and hillside homes with tile or concrete roofs all use solar. Hybrid backup, solar geysers and commercial rooftops are widely requested.
Typical farm solar systems requests in the area come from:
- Townhouses and flats: lifestyle farm cottages and complexes using small shared systems for lighting and water pumps
- Family homes: small plots and home-based farm stalls running a modest hybrid system and a borehole pump
- Estate homes: equestrian and wine estates powering stables, cellars and gate motors with roof and ground arrays
- Shops, offices and schools: farm shops, packhouses and guest lodges using daytime solar and batteries for tills and refrigeration
- Factories and warehouses: processing plants, grain silos and large cold stores with big roof or ground arrays tied to the grid
- Farms, smallholdings and lodges: irrigation, boreholes, dairies and cold rooms running on ground-mounted arrays with battery or generator backup
