Solar in East London

East London is a humid coastal city on the Buffalo River with mild temperatures and decent sunshine, although sea mist, cloud and rain can arrive in any season. Buffalo City Metropolitan Municipality supplies the area, and grid-tied or hybrid systems must be registered and approved with it, while Eskom serves some surrounding areas. Salt air and humidity corrode frames and fixings near the beach, so marine-grade materials and corrosion protection matter. Homes in Nahoon, Beacon Bay and Gonubie have tile and IBR roofs, and the automotive and port industries have large factory roofs. Hybrid backup, solar geysers and commercial rooftops are widely requested.

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
