Solar in Cape Town
Cape Town has a Mediterranean climate with long, sunny, dry summers and wetter, cloudier winters, so solar output peaks in the warm months and dips in winter. The City of Cape Town supplies most of the metro and requires small-scale embedded generation to be registered and approved, with only approved inverters and installers accepted for grid-tied and hybrid systems. The south-easter wind, salt air on the Atlantic Seaboard and corrosion near the coast demand engineered mounting and marine-grade fittings. Roofs include tile, IBR, slate and flat concrete in apartment blocks, and heritage or body-corporate rules affect some properties. Hybrid backup, solar geysers and commercial rooftops are very popular.
Typical solar pool heating requests in the area come from:
- Family homes: black collectors on a garage or pool-house roof, extending the swimming season for a family pool
- Estate homes: discreet collectors placed to suit estate design rules, often on a lapa or outbuilding roof
- Townhouses and flats: heating for a communal pool, agreed with the body corporate and installed on a shared roof
- Shops, offices and schools: heating for guesthouse, hotel or school pools used for lessons, with covers to keep the heat in
- Factories and warehouses: large collector arrays for gym, club or hydrotherapy pools alongside existing plant and pumps
- Farms, smallholdings and lodges: ground-mounted or shed-roof collectors for lodge, guesthouse and farmhouse pools with space to spare
