Solar in Western Cape

The Western Cape has hot, dry, very sunny summers and wetter, cloudier winters, so solar output is strong in the warm months and lower in the cold, rainy ones. The City of Cape Town supplies its own area and requires embedded generation to be registered and approved, with other municipalities and Eskom covering the rest of the province, each with its own rules. Coastal salt air corrodes fixings, and the south-easter in summer puts real load on roofs and arrays. Roofs include slate, clay tile, concrete tile and IBR, and wine farms, fruit farms and heritage homes each have their own needs. Hybrid backup, solar geysers and farm pumping are 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
  • Farms, smallholdings and lodges: hybrid systems that ride out long rural outages and run pumps, cold rooms and workshop tools
  • 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

Frequently asked questions

What will it cost in Western Cape?
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 Western Cape 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 Western Cape?
A north-facing array in Western Cape makes about 5.0 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.
