Solar Lights for Upington buyers

Whether you are in Upington or elsewhere in Northern Cape, 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.

Solar in Upington

Upington has some of the highest solar radiation in South Africa, with long, cloudless days that suit large rooftop and ground-mounted systems. The Dawid Kruiper Municipality supplies the town while Eskom serves some surrounding areas, and grid-tied or hybrid systems need registration and approval before connecting. Summer heat regularly passes 40 degrees, which lowers panel output a little and calls for shaded, ventilated inverter and battery rooms. Wine, raisin and date farms have large packshed and cold-room roofs, and many homes have tile or IBR roofs. Dust can coat panels, and solar pumps, hybrid backup and commercial systems are well established locally.

Typical solar lights requests in the area come from:

• Farms, smallholdings and lodges: lighting for kraals, sheds, farmyards and staff housing where mains power is unavailable
• 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
• 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
• Townhouses and flats: communal pathway and carport lighting installed with body-corporate approval and no new wiring

What to include in your request
