Solar in Kariega

Kariega, still called Uitenhage by many, lies in a drier pocket behind Gqeberha at the foot of the Winterhoek mountains, with more sunshine than the coast and less sea mist. Nelson Mandela Bay Municipality supplies the town, and grid-tied or hybrid systems must be registered and approved with it. Wind is frequent, so engineered mounting and secure fixings are important, and summer can be hot. Older single-storey houses have corrugated or tiled roofs, while the motor industry and its suppliers have large flat or sheeted roofs well suited to commercial systems. Citrus and farm work around Addo drives interest in solar pumps, cold rooms and hybrid backup.

Frequently asked questions

What will it cost in Kariega?
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 Kariega 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 Kariega?
A north-facing array in Kariega makes about 4.9 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.
