Solar in East London

East London is a humid coastal city on the Buffalo River with mild temperatures and decent sunshine, although sea mist, cloud and rain can arrive in any season. Buffalo City Metropolitan Municipality supplies the area, and grid-tied or hybrid systems must be registered and approved with it, while Eskom serves some surrounding areas. Salt air and humidity corrode frames and fixings near the beach, so marine-grade materials and corrosion protection matter. Homes in Nahoon, Beacon Bay and Gonubie have tile and IBR roofs, and the automotive and port industries have large factory roofs. Hybrid backup, solar geysers and commercial rooftops are widely requested.

Typical solar panel cleaning requests in the area come from:

• 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
• Townhouses and flats: shared or small roof arrays cleaned with body-corporate approval and arranged access to the roof
• 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
