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 grid-tied solar systems requests in the area come from:

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