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 farm solar systems requests in the area come from:
- Family homes: small plots and home-based farm stalls running a modest hybrid system and a borehole pump
- Townhouses and flats: lifestyle farm cottages and complexes using small shared systems for lighting and water pumps
- Estate homes: equestrian and wine estates powering stables, cellars and gate motors with roof and ground arrays
- Factories and warehouses: processing plants, grain silos and large cold stores with big roof or ground arrays tied to the grid
- Shops, offices and schools: farm shops, packhouses and guest lodges using daytime solar and batteries for tills and refrigeration
- Farms, smallholdings and lodges: irrigation, boreholes, dairies and cold rooms running on ground-mounted arrays with battery or generator backup
