Solar in Worcester

Worcester lies in the Breede River Valley with very hot, dry, sunny summers and cold, wet winters, so solar output is excellent from spring to autumn. The Breede Valley Municipality supplies the town and requires grid-tied and hybrid systems to be registered and approved, while Eskom serves many farms. Summer heat above 35 degrees lowers panel output a little and calls for ventilated inverter and battery spaces, and wind and winter frost can affect exposed equipment. Vineyards, orchards and packhouses have large roofs ideal for solar, and farm pumps are common. Homes in town use tile and IBR roofs, and hybrid backup and solar geysers are popular.

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
  • Factories and warehouses: retrofitting solar heating to large hot water tanks used for staff facilities and washdown
  • 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
  • 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

Frequently asked questions

What will it cost in Worcester?
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 Worcester 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 Worcester?
A north-facing array in Worcester makes about 5.2 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.
