Solar in George

George sits between the Outeniqua mountains and the Garden Route coast, with mild temperatures, frequent cloud and rain in any season, so solar output is more modest than on the dry inland plateau but still useful. The George Municipality supplies the town and requires grid-tied and hybrid systems to be registered and approved, with Eskom serving some outlying areas. Golf estates, holiday homes at Wilderness and Herolds Bay and retirement housing mostly have tile and IBR roofs, and coastal sites face salt air and strong wind. Hybrid backup, solar geysers and batteries to ride through outages are popular, and commercial rooftops are growing steadily.

Typical solar panels requests in the area come from:

• Estate homes: neat flush-mounted arrays on double-storey homes, approved by the estate's design rules
• 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
• Farms, smallholdings and lodges: off-grid and hybrid systems, borehole pumps, ground-mounted arrays and solar lights for the yard
• Factories and warehouses: large grid-tied arrays on warehouse and factory roofs and carports, sized to the daytime load
