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 geyser conversion requests in the area come from:
- Family homes: a retrofit or PV kit fitted to the family home's existing geyser without replacing the tank
- Estate homes: a low-profile conversion with panels placed to satisfy the estate's design guidelines
- Townhouses and flats: a PV geyser with a few panels, often easier than roof pipework in a sectional title complex
- Shops, offices and schools: adding panels or collectors to an existing hot water cylinder in a restaurant, clinic or guesthouse
- Factories and warehouses: retrofitting solar heating to large hot water tanks used for staff facilities and washdown
- Farms, smallholdings and lodges: conversions of farmhouse and worker housing geysers where mains power is unreliable or expensive to extend
