Solar in Cape Town
Cape Town has a Mediterranean climate with long, sunny, dry summers and wetter, cloudier winters, so solar output peaks in the warm months and dips in winter. The City of Cape Town supplies most of the metro and requires small-scale embedded generation to be registered and approved, with only approved inverters and installers accepted for grid-tied and hybrid systems. The south-easter wind, salt air on the Atlantic Seaboard and corrosion near the coast demand engineered mounting and marine-grade fittings. Roofs include tile, IBR, slate and flat concrete in apartment blocks, and heritage or body-corporate rules affect some properties. Hybrid backup, solar geysers and commercial rooftops are very popular.
Typical solar compliance and registration requests in the area come from:
- Family homes: a hybrid home system that needs a CoC and municipal approval before or after connecting to the grid
- Estate homes: estate rules and the municipality both involved, with approvals and certificates kept ready for the HOA
- Townhouses and flats: body-corporate consent plus municipal approval for small systems on shared roofs and distribution boards
- Shops, offices and schools: rooftop systems requiring SSEG approval, drawings and a CoC for insurers, landlords and lenders
- Factories and warehouses: larger embedded generation applications with protection settings, studies and formal utility approval
- Farms, smallholdings and lodges: mixed off-grid and grid-connected systems needing a certificate for insurance and any Eskom connection
