Solar in Pinetown

Pinetown sits on the hills inland of Durban, with warm, humid weather, frequent summer cloud and heavy rain, though winters are bright and dry. The suburbs fall under eThekwini Municipality, which requires grid-tied and hybrid systems to be registered and approved. Split-level houses in Hillcrest, Kloof and Cowies Hill have tile and IBR roofs on steep slopes with varied orientations, while townhouse complexes and the industrial areas have large flat or sheeted roofs. Lightning and summer storms are common, and the sea air reaches some areas, so surge protection and corrosion-resistant fittings are sensible. Hybrid backup, solar geysers and commercial rooftops are the usual 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
• 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
• Factories and warehouses: perimeter and yard pole lights for depots, mines and factories, often in larger numbers
• 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
