Solar in Potchefstroom

Potchefstroom has sunny, dry weather for most of the year and cold, clear winter mornings that keep panels efficient. Electricity is supplied by the JB Marks Local Municipality in town and by Eskom in some outlying areas, and grid-tied or hybrid systems must be registered and approved by the relevant supplier. The mix of student housing, apartment blocks, townhouse complexes and older family homes means roofs range from concrete tile to flat concrete and IBR. Highveld hail and lightning are real risks in summer. Body corporates and landlords often ask about shared systems and backup, while surrounding farms look at borehole pumps, dairies and cold storage.
