Solar in Bellville

Bellville has the same Mediterranean pattern as the rest of the Cape, with hot, dry, sunny summers and cloudier, wetter winters, and the south-easter makes mounting strength important. The City of Cape Town supplies the area and requires grid-tied and hybrid systems to be registered and approved, using inverters on its approved list. Older houses in Boston, Welgemoed and Oakdale have tile and IBR roofs, complexes and sectional-title schemes have shared roofs and body-corporate rules, and the Stikland and Bellville industrial areas have large warehouse roofs ideal for commercial systems. Dust and wind-blown sand can dirty panels. Hybrid backup, solar geysers and commercial rooftops are popular.

Typical solar panels requests in the area come from:

• Family homes: rooftop panels with a hybrid inverter and battery for load-shedding, often with a solar geyser
• Townhouses and flats: small backup systems and a few panels, with body-corporate approval for the roof
• Shops, offices and schools: daytime-load rooftop systems for offices, shops, schools and clinics, with backup for tills and IT
• Factories and warehouses: large grid-tied arrays on warehouse and factory roofs and carports, sized to the daytime load
• Estate homes: neat flush-mounted arrays on double-storey homes, approved by the estate's design rules
• Farms, smallholdings and lodges: off-grid and hybrid systems, borehole pumps, ground-mounted arrays and solar lights for the yard
