Solar in Northern Cape

The Northern Cape receives some of the strongest sunshine in South Africa, with very little cloud and long hours of clear sky through the year. Eskom supplies most rural areas, while Sol Plaatje, Dawid Kruiper and other municipalities run their own networks, and each requires embedded-generation approval for grid-tied and hybrid systems. Distances are huge and grid power can be weak or far away, so off-grid systems, borehole pumps and farm installations are common, along with solar for mines, guest farms and town businesses. Extreme heat, dust, strong wind and cold desert nights are the main conditions to plan for. Roofs are mainly IBR sheeting, and ground-mount space is plentiful.

Typical solar installation requests in the area come from:

  • Farms, smallholdings and lodges: off-grid and hybrid systems, borehole pumps, ground-mounted arrays and solar lights for the yard
  • Shops, offices and schools: daytime-load rooftop systems for offices, shops, schools and clinics, with backup for tills and IT
  • Factories and warehouses: large grid-tied arrays on warehouse and factory roofs and carports, sized to the daytime load
  • Family homes: rooftop panels with a hybrid inverter and battery for load-shedding, often with a solar geyser
  • Estate homes: neat flush-mounted arrays on double-storey homes, approved by the estate's design rules
  • Townhouses and flats: small backup systems and a few panels, with body-corporate approval for the roof

Why get a quote in Northern Cape first?

Frequently asked questions

What will it cost in Northern 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 installer working in Northern 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 Northern Cape?
A north-facing array in Northern Cape makes about 5.9 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.
