Solar in Ladysmith

Ladysmith has hot, sunny summers and clear, cold winter days, with good sunshine overall although afternoon thunderstorms are common. The Alfred Duma Local Municipality supplies the town while Eskom serves outlying farms and townships, and grid-tied or hybrid systems must be registered and approved by the supplier before connection. Older sandstone and brick buildings in the centre have corrugated iron roofs, sometimes under heritage rules, and newer houses use tile. Hail and lightning are the main weather risks, so sturdy mounting and surge protection are worth having. Farms towards the Drakensberg foothills look at solar pumps, dairies and cold rooms, while homeowners ask about hybrid backup.

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
• Farms, smallholdings and lodges: off-grid and hybrid systems, borehole pumps, ground-mounted arrays and solar lights for the yard
• 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
• Townhouses and flats: small backup systems and a few panels, with body-corporate approval for the roof
• Estate homes: neat flush-mounted arrays on double-storey homes, approved by the estate's design rules
