Solar in Cape Town
Cape Town has a Mediterranean climate with long, sunny, dry summers and wetter, cloudier winters, so solar output peaks in the warm months and dips in winter. The City of Cape Town supplies most of the metro and requires small-scale embedded generation to be registered and approved, with only approved inverters and installers accepted for grid-tied and hybrid systems. The south-easter wind, salt air on the Atlantic Seaboard and corrosion near the coast demand engineered mounting and marine-grade fittings. Roofs include tile, IBR, slate and flat concrete in apartment blocks, and heritage or body-corporate rules affect some properties. Hybrid backup, solar geysers and commercial rooftops are very popular.
Typical hybrid solar systems requests in the area come from:
- Family homes: a 5 to 8 kVA inverter and lithium battery keeping essentials running through load-shedding
- Estate homes: larger hybrid systems for bigger homes, installed neatly and approved by the estate's design committee
- Townhouses and flats: compact hybrid units backing up lights and Wi-Fi, mounted where the body corporate allows
- Shops, offices and schools: hybrid systems keeping tills, card machines, alarms and servers running when the grid drops
- Factories and warehouses: three-phase hybrid or battery-backed systems that protect critical machines and cold chain equipment
- Farms, smallholdings and lodges: hybrid systems that ride out long rural outages and run pumps, cold rooms and workshop tools
