Solar in Pietermaritzburg
Pietermaritzburg lies in a warm valley with hot, humid summers, frequent storms and mild, bright winters, so solar produces well in the dry months and less during overcast spells. The Msunduzi Municipality supplies the city, and grid-tied or hybrid systems must be registered and approved with it, while Eskom serves parts of the Midlands. Heritage houses in Scottsville and Clarendon have corrugated iron or tile roofs and may be subject to heritage rules, while Hilton and newer estates have modern tile roofs. Hail, lightning and heavy rain are the main risks. Hybrid backup, solar geysers, school and factory rooftops and farm pumps are 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
