Solar Street Lights for Western Cape buyers

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

Solar in Western Cape

The Western Cape has hot, dry, very sunny summers and wetter, cloudier winters, so solar output is strong in the warm months and lower in the cold, rainy ones. The City of Cape Town supplies its own area and requires embedded generation to be registered and approved, with other municipalities and Eskom covering the rest of the province, each with its own rules. Coastal salt air corrodes fixings, and the south-easter in summer puts real load on roofs and arrays. Roofs include slate, clay tile, concrete tile and IBR, and wine farms, fruit farms and heritage homes each have their own needs. Hybrid backup, solar geysers and farm pumping are popular.

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
• 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
• 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
