Solar in Richards Bay

Richards Bay has a warm, humid subtropical climate with long daylight hours but frequent coastal cloud and heavy summer rain. The City of uMhlathuze supplies the town while Eskom serves outlying areas, and grid-tied and hybrid systems must be registered and approved by the supplier. Salt air and humidity are hard on frames, cables and fixings, so marine-grade mounting and corrosion protection are important, and coastal wind and summer storms add load. Port, smelter, timber and sugar industries have large warehouse roofs ideal for commercial arrays, while Meerensee and Aquadene have tiled homes and holiday apartments. Hybrid backup, solar geysers and commercial rooftops are widely requested.
