Solar in Pietermaritzburg

Pietermaritzburg lies in a warm valley with hot, humid summers, frequent storms and mild, bright winters, so solar produces well in the dry months and less during overcast spells. The Msunduzi Municipality supplies the city, and grid-tied or hybrid systems must be registered and approved with it, while Eskom serves parts of the Midlands. Heritage houses in Scottsville and Clarendon have corrugated iron or tile roofs and may be subject to heritage rules, while Hilton and newer estates have modern tile roofs. Hail, lightning and heavy rain are the main risks. Hybrid backup, solar geysers, school and factory rooftops and farm pumps are popular.

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
