Solar Lights in Newcastle

Solar Lights for Newcastle buyers

Whether you are in Newcastle 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 Newcastle

Newcastle in northern KwaZulu-Natal has good sunshine through most of the year, with clear, cold winter days and hot summers prone to severe storms. Electricity is supplied by Newcastle Municipality, with Eskom serving surrounding farms and townships, and grid-tied or hybrid systems must be registered and approved before connection. Steel, textile and chemical works and distribution yards have large flat or sheeted roofs suited to commercial systems, while homes use tile and IBR. Hail and lightning are among the main risks, and frost can affect exposed equipment. Hybrid backup, solar geysers, commercial rooftops and farm pumps are popular, and cold winter evenings drive interest in battery storage.

Typical solar lights requests in the area come from:

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

What to include in your request
