Solar in Durban
Durban is warm and humid with a bright coast but frequent summer cloud and heavy rain, so output is a little lower than on the inland plateau even though the climate is mild all year. eThekwini Municipality supplies the metro and requires grid-tied and hybrid systems to be registered and approved. Salt air attacks fittings near the sea, so marine-grade mounting and corrosion protection are important, and strong coastal wind and summer storms test fixings. Apartment blocks, sectional-title complexes, factories around Pinetown and the port, and hillside homes with tile or concrete roofs all use solar. Hybrid backup, solar geysers and commercial rooftops are widely requested.
Typical solar geyser conversion requests in the area come from:
- Townhouses and flats: a PV geyser with a few panels, often easier than roof pipework in a sectional title complex
- 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
- 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
