Solar in Western Cape
The Western Cape has hot, dry, very sunny summers and wetter, cloudier winters, so solar output is strong in the warm months and lower in the cold, rainy ones. The City of Cape Town supplies its own area and requires embedded generation to be registered and approved, with other municipalities and Eskom covering the rest of the province, each with its own rules. Coastal salt air corrodes fixings, and the south-easter in summer puts real load on roofs and arrays. Roofs include slate, clay tile, concrete tile and IBR, and wine farms, fruit farms and heritage homes each have their own needs. Hybrid backup, solar geysers and farm pumping are popular.
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
- Farms, smallholdings and lodges: irrigation, boreholes, dairies and cold rooms running on ground-mounted arrays with battery or generator backup
- 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
