Solar in East London

East London is a humid coastal city on the Buffalo River with mild temperatures and decent sunshine, although sea mist, cloud and rain can arrive in any season. Buffalo City Metropolitan Municipality supplies the area, and grid-tied or hybrid systems must be registered and approved with it, while Eskom serves some surrounding areas. Salt air and humidity corrode frames and fixings near the beach, so marine-grade materials and corrosion protection matter. Homes in Nahoon, Beacon Bay and Gonubie have tile and IBR roofs, and the automotive and port industries have large factory roofs. Hybrid backup, solar geysers and commercial rooftops are widely requested.

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

Why get a quote in East London first?

  • Say whether you have single or three phase supply.

Frequently asked questions

What will it cost in East London?
It depends on the size of the system, the equipment chosen, the roof, the distance from the inverter to the distribution board, the paperwork for your electricity supplier and how soon you need it done. Tick your loads on the form and a solar installer working in East London will quote you.
Will someone come out to look at the property?
Yes, for most jobs. The person quoting needs to see the roof, its direction and shading, the distribution board and where the inverter and batteries will go. Give your suburb on the form and they will arrange a visit.
How much sun is there in East London?
A north-facing array in East London makes about 4.6 kWh per kWp a day averaged over the year. Shade from trees or neighbours, the roof angle and dust change this, so the installer will check your roof.
