Solar Geyser Conversion for KwaZulu-Natal homes and businesses

Solar in KwaZulu-Natal

KwaZulu-Natal has a humid, cloudier coast, warm midlands and cooler Berg foothills, so output varies more than on the dry inland plateau, though summer sun is still strong. eThekwini supplies Durban, Msunduzi serves Pietermaritzburg, and Eskom covers much of the rest. Grid-tied and hybrid systems need approval from whichever one supplies the property. Coastal salt air corrodes cheap fixings and frames, so stainless hardware and marine-grade products matter, and strong wind and summer storms need solid mounting. Roofs include concrete tile, IBR and clay tile on houses and flat roofs on apartment blocks. Hybrid backup, solar geysers and commercial rooftops on warehouses are popular here.

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

Frequently asked questions

What will it cost in KwaZulu-Natal?
It depends on the size of the system, the equipment chosen, the roof, the distance from the inverter to the distribution board, the paperwork for your electricity supplier and how soon you need it done. Tick your loads on the form and a solar geyser installer working in KwaZulu-Natal will quote you.
Will someone come out to look at the property?
Yes, for most jobs. The person quoting needs to see the roof, its direction and shading, the distribution board and where the inverter and batteries will go. Give your suburb on the form and they will arrange a visit.
How much sun is there in KwaZulu-Natal?
A north-facing array in KwaZulu-Natal makes about 4.6 kWh per kWp a day averaged over the year. Shade from trees or neighbours, the roof angle and dust change this, so the installer will check your roof.
