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 grid-tied solar systems requests in the area come from:
- Townhouses and flats: small arrays on shared or private roofs, requiring body corporate approval and a clear meter arrangement
- Family homes: rooftop arrays that cut daytime grid use at homes with someone in during the day
- Estate homes: tidy roof arrays registered with the municipality, sometimes with export limits set by the estate
- Shops, offices and schools: rooftop arrays that cover daytime use in shops, schools and offices, often with monitoring
- Factories and warehouses: large flat-roof arrays or carports cutting daytime demand in factories, warehouses and cold stores
- Farms, smallholdings and lodges: roof or ground arrays offsetting daytime use for irrigation, dairies and packing sheds
