Solar in Free State

The Free State is sunny and dry for most of the year, with clear winter days that stay cold at night and hot summers with strong irradiance. Mangaung is served by Centlec, Matjhabeng, Metsimaholo and other municipalities run their own networks, and Eskom supplies much of the rest. Grid-tied and hybrid systems must be registered with whichever supplier applies. Farms use solar for borehole pumps, dairies, grain handling and shearing sheds, while towns see hybrid backup and solar geysers. Hail and lightning on summer afternoons, hard frost and strong dry wind are the main weather concerns. Roofs are mostly IBR sheeting on farms and concrete or corrugated sheeting in towns.

Typical solar street lights requests in the area come from:

• Farms, smallholdings and lodges: lights along farm roads, worker housing and loading areas, with no cable trenching across fields
• Family homes: solar lights for a cul-de-sac, shared driveway or community park where the municipality has no budget
• Shops, offices and schools: pole lights over car parks and entrances that stay on during load-shedding
• Factories and warehouses: perimeter and yard pole lights for depots, mines and factories, often in larger numbers
• Estate homes: evenly spaced poles along internal roads and walkways, with controlled glare and trustee approval
• Townhouses and flats: pole lights over visitor parking and complex access roads, installed with body-corporate consent
