Solar in Upington

Upington has some of the highest solar radiation in South Africa, with long, cloudless days that suit large rooftop and ground-mounted systems. The Dawid Kruiper Municipality supplies the town while Eskom serves some surrounding areas, and grid-tied or hybrid systems need registration and approval before connecting. Summer heat regularly passes 40 degrees, which lowers panel output a little and calls for shaded, ventilated inverter and battery rooms. Wine, raisin and date farms have large packshed and cold-room roofs, and many homes have tile or IBR roofs. Dust can coat panels, and solar pumps, hybrid backup and commercial systems are well established locally.

Typical solar charge controllers requests in the area come from:

• Farms, smallholdings and lodges: MPPT controllers charging battery banks for borehole pumps, fences, cold rooms and remote sheds
• Shops, offices and schools: a controller in a small off-grid setup for signage, security systems or a remote site
• Factories and warehouses: high-current controllers on remote monitoring, lighting or pumping systems away from the grid
• Family homes: a controller in a small backup system for gate motors, lights or a garden pump
• Estate homes: a controller inside a neat battery cabinet for security lights, gates or a guard house
• Townhouses and flats: a small controller powering communal lighting or a gate from a few panels, with approval

Why get a quote in Upington first?

What to include in your request

• State battery voltage and chemistry
• Give panel wattage and string layout
