Solar in Northern Cape

The Northern Cape receives some of the strongest sunshine in South Africa, with very little cloud and long hours of clear sky through the year. Eskom supplies most rural areas, while Sol Plaatje, Dawid Kruiper and other municipalities run their own networks, and each requires embedded-generation approval for grid-tied and hybrid systems. Distances are huge and grid power can be weak or far away, so off-grid systems, borehole pumps and farm installations are common, along with solar for mines, guest farms and town businesses. Extreme heat, dust, strong wind and cold desert nights are the main conditions to plan for. Roofs are mainly IBR sheeting, and ground-mount space is plentiful.

Typical solar pool heating requests in the area come from:

  • Farms, smallholdings and lodges: ground-mounted or shed-roof collectors for lodge, guesthouse and farmhouse pools with space to spare
  • 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
  • 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

Frequently asked questions

What will it cost in Northern Cape?
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 Northern Cape 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 Northern Cape?
A north-facing array in Northern Cape makes about 5.9 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.
