Solar in Newcastle

Newcastle in northern KwaZulu-Natal has good sunshine through most of the year, with clear, cold winter days and hot summers prone to severe storms. Electricity is supplied by Newcastle Municipality, with Eskom serving surrounding farms and townships, and grid-tied or hybrid systems must be registered and approved before connection. Steel, textile and chemical works and distribution yards have large flat or sheeted roofs suited to commercial systems, while homes use tile and IBR. Hail and lightning are among the main risks, and frost can affect exposed equipment. Hybrid backup, solar geysers, commercial rooftops and farm pumps are popular, and cold winter evenings drive interest in battery storage.

Typical solar pool heating requests in the area come from:

  • Factories and warehouses: large collector arrays for gym, club or hydrotherapy pools alongside existing plant and pumps
  • Shops, offices and schools: heating for guesthouse, hotel or school pools used for lessons, with covers to keep the heat in
  • Family homes: black collectors on a garage or pool-house roof, extending the swimming season for a family pool
  • Townhouses and flats: heating for a communal pool, agreed with the body corporate and installed on a shared roof
  • Farms, smallholdings and lodges: ground-mounted or shed-roof collectors for lodge, guesthouse and farmhouse pools with space to spare
  • Estate homes: discreet collectors placed to suit estate design rules, often on a lapa or outbuilding roof

Frequently asked questions

What will it cost in Newcastle?
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 Newcastle 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 Newcastle?
A north-facing array in Newcastle makes about 4.9 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.
