Tell them your roof type and panel count in your request and compare their quotes.

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 panel cleaning requests in the area come from:

  • Townhouses and flats: shared or small roof arrays cleaned with body-corporate approval and arranged access to the roof
  • Family homes: a few roof panels washed once or twice a year, mostly of dust and leaf litter
  • Estate homes: neat double-storey roof arrays cleaned from safe access points, often on a scheduled plan
  • Shops, offices and schools: flat-roof arrays on shops, offices and schools cleaned outside trading hours with minimal disruption
  • Factories and warehouses: large warehouse and carport arrays cleaned by teams with poles, water supply and fall protection
  • Farms, smallholdings and lodges: ground and roof arrays covered in dust from gravel roads, lands and livestock yards

Frequently asked questions

What will it cost in Durban?
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 panel cleaning company working in Durban 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 Durban?
A north-facing array in Durban makes about 4.4 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.
