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 solar batteries requests in the area come from:

• Family homes: a wall-mounted battery in the garage keeping lights, fridge and wifi running through load-shedding
• Estate homes: neat, enclosed battery storage paired with a larger hybrid inverter, often within estate design rules
• Farms, smallholdings and lodges: larger battery banks for pumps, cold rooms and lodges where the grid is unreliable
• Townhouses and flats: compact battery units for small backup loads, installed with body corporate approval
• Shops, offices and schools: batteries that keep tills, servers, alarms and lights running when the power drops
• Factories and warehouses: rack-mounted storage that carries critical loads and smooths peaks alongside a large solar array
