Solar Pool Heating for KwaZulu-Natal homes and businesses

Solar in KwaZulu-Natal

KwaZulu-Natal has a humid, cloudier coast, warm midlands and cooler Berg foothills, so output varies more than on the dry inland plateau, though summer sun is still strong. eThekwini supplies Durban, Msunduzi serves Pietermaritzburg, and Eskom covers much of the rest. Grid-tied and hybrid systems need approval from whichever one supplies the property. Coastal salt air corrodes cheap fixings and frames, so stainless hardware and marine-grade products matter, and strong wind and summer storms need solid mounting. Roofs include concrete tile, IBR and clay tile on houses and flat roofs on apartment blocks. Hybrid backup, solar geysers and commercial rooftops on warehouses are popular here.

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

Why get a quote in KwaZulu-Natal first?

What to include in your request

  • Pool length, width and average depth

Frequently asked questions

What will it cost in KwaZulu-Natal?
It depends on the size of the system, the equipment chosen, the roof, the distance from the inverter to the distribution board, the paperwork for your electricity supplier and how soon you need it done. Tick your loads on the form and a pool heating installer working in KwaZulu-Natal will quote you.
Will someone come out to look at the property?
Yes, for most jobs. The person quoting needs to see the roof, its direction and shading, the distribution board and where the inverter and batteries will go. Give your suburb on the form and they will arrange a visit.
How much sun is there in KwaZulu-Natal?
A north-facing array in KwaZulu-Natal makes about 4.6 kWh per kWp a day averaged over the year. Shade from trees or neighbours, the roof angle and dust change this, so the installer will check your roof.
