Solar in Northern Cape

The Northern Cape receives some of the strongest sunshine in South Africa, with very little cloud and long hours of clear sky through the year. Eskom supplies most rural areas, while Sol Plaatje, Dawid Kruiper and other municipalities run their own networks, and each requires embedded-generation approval for grid-tied and hybrid systems. Distances are huge and grid power can be weak or far away, so off-grid systems, borehole pumps and farm installations are common, along with solar for mines, guest farms and town businesses. Extreme heat, dust, strong wind and cold desert nights are the main conditions to plan for. Roofs are mainly IBR sheeting, and ground-mount space is plentiful.

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
• 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
• Family homes: solar lights for a cul-de-sac, shared driveway or community park where the municipality has no budget
• 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
