Solar in Mbombela

Mbombela is in the warm, humid Lowveld, where summer brings heat, cloud build-up and heavy afternoon storms, while winter days are clear, dry and pleasantly sunny. Electricity is supplied by the City of Mbombela in town and by Eskom in surrounding areas, and grid-tied or hybrid systems must be registered with whichever supplier applies. Hillside suburbs have concrete tile and IBR roofs, and lodges, guest houses and citrus and subtropical farms around White River, Hazyview and Malelane want hybrid, off-grid and pumping systems. Heat reduces panel efficiency and storms bring lightning, so ventilation, earthing and surge protection matter. Solar geysers are popular in homes.

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
• 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
• Townhouses and flats: small backup systems and a few panels, with body-corporate approval for the roof
• Factories and warehouses: large grid-tied arrays on warehouse and factory roofs and carports, sized to the daytime load
