Solar in Polokwane

Polokwane gets abundant sunshine and clear skies for most of the year, which makes it one of the better spots for solar in the north. The Polokwane Municipality supplies the city and Eskom serves surrounding areas, and grid-tied or hybrid systems must be registered and approved with the supplier before they go live. Housing is a mix of security estates, townhouses and suburban homes with tile or IBR roofs, plus warehouses and shopping centres along the N1. Heat can lower panel output on summer afternoons, and thunderstorms bring hail and lightning. Hybrid backup, solar geysers, lodge systems and commercial rooftops are popular, and farms look at borehole pumping.

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
• 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
• 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
