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 panels requests in the area come from:
- Townhouses and flats: small backup systems and a few panels, with body-corporate approval for the roof
- Family homes: rooftop panels with a hybrid inverter and battery for load-shedding, often with a solar geyser
- Estate homes: neat flush-mounted arrays on double-storey homes, approved by the estate's design rules
- 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
- Farms, smallholdings and lodges: off-grid and hybrid systems, borehole pumps, ground-mounted arrays and solar lights for the yard
