Solar Lights in Durban

Solar Lights for Durban buyers

Whether you are in Durban or elsewhere in KwaZulu-Natal, solar lights suit gardens, driveways and boundaries, and keep working through load-shedding. Local suppliers can recommend fittings that cope with your area's sun, wind and, near the coast, salt air.

Want to know more first? Our solar lights guide covers the options, what to check and what affects the price.

Solar in Durban

Durban is warm and humid with a bright coast but frequent summer cloud and heavy rain, so output is a little lower than on the inland plateau even though the climate is mild all year. eThekwini Municipality supplies the metro and requires grid-tied and hybrid systems to be registered and approved. Salt air attacks fittings near the sea, so marine-grade mounting and corrosion protection are important, and strong coastal wind and summer storms test fixings. Apartment blocks, sectional-title complexes, factories around Pinetown and the port, and hillside homes with tile or concrete roofs all use solar. Hybrid backup, solar geysers and commercial rooftops are widely requested.

Typical solar lights requests in the area come from:

• Townhouses and flats: communal pathway and carport lighting installed with body-corporate approval and no new wiring
• Family homes: path, patio and boundary wall lights that come on at dusk and ignore load-shedding
• Estate homes: tasteful, low-glare fittings that meet estate design rules for gardens, entrances and walkways
• Shops, offices and schools: parking, entrance and signage-free façade lighting that works during outages
• Factories and warehouses: perimeter and yard lighting for depots and warehouses, often with higher-output fittings
• Farms, smallholdings and lodges: lighting for kraals, sheds, farmyards and staff housing where mains power is unavailable

What to include in your request
