Solar in Eastern Cape

The Eastern Cape runs from the windy coast to the dry Karoo edge, and sunshine improves steadily as you move inland, with the coast more changeable and often breezy. Nelson Mandela Bay and Buffalo City run their own networks in Gqeberha and East London, while Eskom and other municipalities supply the rest, and each has its own approval process for grid-tied and hybrid systems. Coastal salt air and strong wind are the main concerns, so corrosion-resistant fixings and well-secured arrays matter. Roofs are mostly IBR and concrete tile. Hybrid backup, solar geysers and borehole pumps on farms are common, and motor industry sites look at commercial rooftops.

Typical solar geyser installation requests in the area come from:

  • Family homes: a one or two day job fitting collectors and a tank to the family home's roof
  • Farms, smallholdings and lodges: installations at farmhouses, cottages and lodges, often with long pipe runs and ground-mounted collectors
  • Shops, offices and schools: scheduled work outside trading hours, supplying hot water to kitchens, ablutions or a guesthouse
  • Factories and warehouses: multiple collectors and large storage tanks fitted on warehouse roofs or structures, with proper access equipment
  • Estate homes: a tidy installation with the tank in the ceiling and collectors that meet the architectural rules
  • Townhouses and flats: careful roof work coordinated with the body corporate, with limited access and shared structure

Frequently asked questions

What will it cost in Eastern Cape?
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 Eastern Cape 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 Eastern Cape?
A north-facing array in Eastern Cape makes about 4.8 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.
