Solar in North West

North West is among the sunniest parts of the country, with long dry spells, clear skies and very hot summers. Eskom supplies many towns and rural areas directly, while municipalities such as Rustenburg, Matlosana and Tlokwe handle their own networks, and each has its own embedded-generation approval process for grid-tied and hybrid systems. Farms use solar for borehole pumps, irrigation, dairies and cold rooms, and mine-town homes and businesses want backup power. Heat and dust reduce output if panels are left uncleaned, and summer thunderstorms bring hail and lightning. Roofs are mostly IBR sheeting on farm buildings and concrete tile on town houses, with open ground for mounting.

Typical solar geyser conversion requests in the area come from:

• Farms, smallholdings and lodges: conversions of farmhouse and worker housing geysers where mains power is unreliable or expensive to extend
• Family homes: a retrofit or PV kit fitted to the family home's existing geyser without replacing the tank
• 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
• 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
