Solar Street Lights for Welkom buyers

Want to know more first? Our solar street lights guide covers the options, what to check and what affects the price.

Solar in Welkom

Welkom has flat, open plains with clear skies and good sunshine through most of the year, and cold, bright winter days. Electricity is supplied by the Matjhabeng Local Municipality, with Eskom serving some surrounding areas, and grid-tied or hybrid systems must be registered and approved by the relevant supplier. Mine-era brick houses with tiled or corrugated roofs make up much of the housing, alongside businesses and workshops with large steel roofs. Hail, lightning and strong dry-season wind are the main risks, and dust settles on panels. Households interested in load-shedding backup and lower bills ask about hybrid systems and solar geysers, while farms look at pumps.

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
• 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
• 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
