Solar in Kathu

Kathu sits in the Kalahari, one of the sunniest and driest parts of South Africa, with clear skies almost all year. Electricity is supplied by Eskom and the Gamagara Local Municipality depending on the area, and grid-tied or hybrid systems must be registered and approved by the supplier. Mining drives demand for commercial rooftops, offices, workshops and carports, while housing includes complexes and standalone homes with tile and IBR roofs. Fierce summer heat reduces output slightly and puts stress on batteries and inverters, and red Kalahari dust settles on panels quickly, so cleaning matters. Hybrid backup, borehole pumps and off-grid systems for farms and lodges are common requests.

Typical hybrid solar systems requests in the area come from:

  • Factories and warehouses: three-phase hybrid or battery-backed systems that protect critical machines and cold chain equipment
  • Shops, offices and schools: hybrid systems keeping tills, card machines, alarms and servers running when the grid drops
  • Townhouses and flats: compact hybrid units backing up lights and Wi-Fi, mounted where the body corporate allows
  • 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
  • Farms, smallholdings and lodges: hybrid systems that ride out long rural outages and run pumps, cold rooms and workshop tools

Frequently asked questions

What will it cost in Kathu?
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 Kathu 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 Kathu?
A north-facing array in Kathu makes about 6.0 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.
