Solar in Durban
Durban is warm and humid with a bright coast but frequent summer cloud and heavy rain, so output is a little lower than on the inland plateau even though the climate is mild all year. eThekwini Municipality supplies the metro and requires grid-tied and hybrid systems to be registered and approved. Salt air attacks fittings near the sea, so marine-grade mounting and corrosion protection are important, and strong coastal wind and summer storms test fixings. Apartment blocks, sectional-title complexes, factories around Pinetown and the port, and hillside homes with tile or concrete roofs all use solar. Hybrid backup, solar geysers and commercial rooftops are widely requested.
Typical solar pool heating requests in the area come from:
- Townhouses and flats: heating for a communal pool, agreed with the body corporate and installed on a shared roof
- 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
- 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
