Solar in Richards Bay

Richards Bay has a warm, humid subtropical climate with long daylight hours but frequent coastal cloud and heavy summer rain. The City of uMhlathuze supplies the town while Eskom serves outlying areas, and grid-tied and hybrid systems must be registered and approved by the supplier. Salt air and humidity are hard on frames, cables and fixings, so marine-grade mounting and corrosion protection are important, and coastal wind and summer storms add load. Port, smelter, timber and sugar industries have large warehouse roofs ideal for commercial arrays, while Meerensee and Aquadene have tiled homes and holiday apartments. Hybrid backup, solar geysers and commercial rooftops are widely requested.

Typical solar geyser installation requests in the area come from:

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

Frequently asked questions

What will it cost in Richards Bay?
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 Richards Bay 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 Richards Bay?
A north-facing array in Richards Bay 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.
