Solar in Pinetown
Pinetown sits on the hills inland of Durban, with warm, humid weather, frequent summer cloud and heavy rain, though winters are bright and dry. The suburbs fall under eThekwini Municipality, which requires grid-tied and hybrid systems to be registered and approved. Split-level houses in Hillcrest, Kloof and Cowies Hill have tile and IBR roofs on steep slopes with varied orientations, while townhouse complexes and the industrial areas have large flat or sheeted roofs. Lightning and summer storms are common, and the sea air reaches some areas, so surge protection and corrosion-resistant fittings are sensible. Hybrid backup, solar geysers and commercial rooftops are the usual requests.
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
- Townhouses and flats: a PV geyser with a few panels, often easier than roof pipework in a sectional title complex
- Estate homes: a low-profile conversion with panels placed to satisfy the estate's design guidelines
- Factories and warehouses: retrofitting solar heating to large hot water tanks used for staff facilities and washdown
- Shops, offices and schools: adding panels or collectors to an existing hot water cylinder in a restaurant, clinic or guesthouse
- Farms, smallholdings and lodges: conversions of farmhouse and worker housing geysers where mains power is unreliable or expensive to extend
