Solar in Kimberley

Kimberley is hot and dry with very little cloud, so solar systems here enjoy high sunshine hours for most of the year. Sol Plaatje Municipality supplies the city, and grid-tied or hybrid systems must be registered and approved with it, with some outlying farms on Eskom. The old Victorian and Edwardian houses in Belgravia and Kimberley North typically have corrugated iron roofs, sometimes under heritage rules that affect how panels are fitted, while newer homes use concrete tiles. Dust and windblown grit soil panels, summer heat tests inverters and winter nights are cold. Hybrid backup, solar geysers, borehole pumps and commercial rooftops are popular requests.

Typical solar street lights requests in the area come from:

• 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
• Farms, smallholdings and lodges: lights along farm roads, worker housing and loading areas, with no cable trenching across fields
• Factories and warehouses: perimeter and yard pole lights for depots, mines and factories, often in larger numbers
• Townhouses and flats: pole lights over visitor parking and complex access roads, installed with body-corporate consent
• Estate homes: evenly spaced poles along internal roads and walkways, with controlled glare and trustee approval
