Solar in North West
North West is among the sunniest parts of the country, with long dry spells, clear skies and very hot summers. Eskom supplies many towns and rural areas directly, while municipalities such as Rustenburg, Matlosana and Tlokwe handle their own networks, and each has its own embedded-generation approval process for grid-tied and hybrid systems. Farms use solar for borehole pumps, irrigation, dairies and cold rooms, and mine-town homes and businesses want backup power. Heat and dust reduce output if panels are left uncleaned, and summer thunderstorms bring hail and lightning. Roofs are mostly IBR sheeting on farm buildings and concrete tile on town houses, with open ground for mounting.
Typical farm solar systems requests in the area come from:
- Farms, smallholdings and lodges: irrigation, boreholes, dairies and cold rooms running on ground-mounted arrays with battery or generator backup
- Family homes: small plots and home-based farm stalls running a modest hybrid system and a borehole pump
- 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
- Estate homes: equestrian and wine estates powering stables, cellars and gate motors with roof and ground arrays
- Townhouses and flats: lifestyle farm cottages and complexes using small shared systems for lighting and water pumps
