Solar in Pinetown

Pinetown sits on the hills inland of Durban, with warm, humid weather, frequent summer cloud and heavy rain, though winters are bright and dry. The suburbs fall under eThekwini Municipality, which requires grid-tied and hybrid systems to be registered and approved. Split-level houses in Hillcrest, Kloof and Cowies Hill have tile and IBR roofs on steep slopes with varied orientations, while townhouse complexes and the industrial areas have large flat or sheeted roofs. Lightning and summer storms are common, and the sea air reaches some areas, so surge protection and corrosion-resistant fittings are sensible. Hybrid backup, solar geysers and commercial rooftops are the usual requests.
