Solar in Pinetown

Pinetown sits on the hills inland of Durban, with warm, humid weather, frequent summer cloud and heavy rain, though winters are bright and dry. The suburbs fall under eThekwini Municipality, which requires grid-tied and hybrid systems to be registered and approved. Split-level houses in Hillcrest, Kloof and Cowies Hill have tile and IBR roofs on steep slopes with varied orientations, while townhouse complexes and the industrial areas have large flat or sheeted roofs. Lightning and summer storms are common, and the sea air reaches some areas, so surge protection and corrosion-resistant fittings are sensible. Hybrid backup, solar geysers and commercial rooftops are the usual requests.

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
• Townhouses and flats: body-corporate consent plus municipal approval for small systems on shared roofs and distribution boards
• Estate homes: estate rules and the municipality both involved, with approvals and certificates kept ready for the HOA
• Factories and warehouses: larger embedded generation applications with protection settings, studies and formal utility approval
• Shops, offices and schools: rooftop systems requiring SSEG approval, drawings and a CoC for insurers, landlords and lenders
• Farms, smallholdings and lodges: mixed off-grid and grid-connected systems needing a certificate for insurance and any Eskom connection
