Solar in KwaZulu-Natal

KwaZulu-Natal has a humid, cloudier coast, warm midlands and cooler Berg foothills, so output varies more than on the dry inland plateau, though summer sun is still strong. eThekwini supplies Durban, Msunduzi serves Pietermaritzburg, and Eskom covers much of the rest. Grid-tied and hybrid systems need approval from whichever one supplies the property. Coastal salt air corrodes cheap fixings and frames, so stainless hardware and marine-grade products matter, and strong wind and summer storms need solid mounting. Roofs include concrete tile, IBR and clay tile on houses and flat roofs on apartment blocks. Hybrid backup, solar geysers and commercial rooftops on warehouses are popular here.

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
  • 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
  • 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
  • Farms, smallholdings and lodges: installations at farmhouses, cottages and lodges, often with long pipe runs and ground-mounted collectors

What to include in your request

  • Roof material and approximate height

Frequently asked questions

What will it cost in KwaZulu-Natal?
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 KwaZulu-Natal 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 KwaZulu-Natal?
A north-facing array in KwaZulu-Natal makes about 4.6 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.
