Solar in Potchefstroom

Potchefstroom has sunny, dry weather for most of the year and cold, clear winter mornings that keep panels efficient. Electricity is supplied by the JB Marks Local Municipality in town and by Eskom in some outlying areas, and grid-tied or hybrid systems must be registered and approved by the relevant supplier. The mix of student housing, apartment blocks, townhouse complexes and older family homes means roofs range from concrete tile to flat concrete and IBR. Highveld hail and lightning are real risks in summer. Body corporates and landlords often ask about shared systems and backup, while surrounding farms look at borehole pumps, dairies and cold storage.

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
• 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
• Estate homes: neat flush-mounted arrays on double-storey homes, approved by the estate's design rules
• Factories and warehouses: large grid-tied arrays on warehouse and factory roofs and carports, sized to the daytime load
