Solar in Richards Bay
Richards Bay has a warm, humid subtropical climate with long daylight hours but frequent coastal cloud and heavy summer rain. The City of uMhlathuze supplies the town while Eskom serves outlying areas, and grid-tied and hybrid systems must be registered and approved by the supplier. Salt air and humidity are hard on frames, cables and fixings, so marine-grade mounting and corrosion protection are important, and coastal wind and summer storms add load. Port, smelter, timber and sugar industries have large warehouse roofs ideal for commercial arrays, while Meerensee and Aquadene have tiled homes and holiday apartments. Hybrid backup, solar geysers and commercial rooftops are widely requested.
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
- Estate homes: discreet collectors placed to suit estate design rules, often on a lapa or outbuilding roof
- Farms, smallholdings and lodges: ground-mounted or shed-roof collectors for lodge, guesthouse and farmhouse pools with space to spare
