Solar in Kariega

Kariega, still called Uitenhage by many, lies in a drier pocket behind Gqeberha at the foot of the Winterhoek mountains, with more sunshine than the coast and less sea mist. Nelson Mandela Bay Municipality supplies the town, and grid-tied or hybrid systems must be registered and approved with it. Wind is frequent, so engineered mounting and secure fixings are important, and summer can be hot. Older single-storey houses have corrugated or tiled roofs, while the motor industry and its suppliers have large flat or sheeted roofs well suited to commercial systems. Citrus and farm work around Addo drives interest in solar pumps, cold rooms and hybrid backup.

  • Shops, offices and schools: rooftop arrays that cover daytime use in shops, schools and offices, often with monitoring
  • Family homes: rooftop arrays that cut daytime grid use at homes with someone in during the day
  • Farms, smallholdings and lodges: roof or ground arrays offsetting daytime use for irrigation, dairies and packing sheds
  • Townhouses and flats: small arrays on shared or private roofs, requiring body corporate approval and a clear meter arrangement
