Solar in North West

North West is among the sunniest parts of the country, with long dry spells, clear skies and very hot summers. Eskom supplies many towns and rural areas directly, while municipalities such as Rustenburg, Matlosana and Tlokwe handle their own networks, and each has its own embedded-generation approval process for grid-tied and hybrid systems. Farms use solar for borehole pumps, irrigation, dairies and cold rooms, and mine-town homes and businesses want backup power. Heat and dust reduce output if panels are left uncleaned, and summer thunderstorms bring hail and lightning. Roofs are mostly IBR sheeting on farm buildings and concrete tile on town houses, with open ground for mounting.

Typical solar panels requests in the area come from:

• Farms, smallholdings and lodges: off-grid and hybrid systems, borehole pumps, ground-mounted arrays and solar lights for the yard
• Family homes: rooftop panels with a hybrid inverter and battery for load-shedding, often with a solar geyser
• 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
• Townhouses and flats: small backup systems and a few panels, with body-corporate approval for the roof
