Solar in Polokwane

Polokwane gets abundant sunshine and clear skies for most of the year, which makes it one of the better spots for solar in the north. The Polokwane Municipality supplies the city and Eskom serves surrounding areas, and grid-tied or hybrid systems must be registered and approved with the supplier before they go live. Housing is a mix of security estates, townhouses and suburban homes with tile or IBR roofs, plus warehouses and shopping centres along the N1. Heat can lower panel output on summer afternoons, and thunderstorms bring hail and lightning. Hybrid backup, solar geysers, lodge systems and commercial rooftops are popular, and farms look at borehole pumping.

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
• 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
• 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
• Farms, smallholdings and lodges: lights along farm roads, worker housing and loading areas, with no cable trenching across fields
