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 charge controllers requests in the area come from:

• 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
• Farms, smallholdings and lodges: MPPT controllers charging battery banks for borehole pumps, fences, cold rooms and remote sheds
• Townhouses and flats: a small controller powering communal lighting or a gate from a few panels, with approval
• 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
