Why Solar Pays in the Western Cape
Credit for exported power
Cape Town and some other municipalities credit registered systems for power fed back to the grid.
Farms and cold stores
Wine farms, packhouses and cold stores run big daytime loads that solar suits well.
What to Watch For
Wind and coastal air
Mounting rated for strong wind and corrosion-resistant fittings near the sea matter here.
Winter rain
Sizing should account for shorter, cloudier winter days.
Registration first
To be credited for exported power, the system must be registered with the municipality before it feeds back.
Buy or Rent
Buy
Pay cash, use a bond re-advance or take solar finance. You own the system and keep the full saving, usually the biggest over its life.
Rent
Nothing upfront and a fixed monthly fee, with maintenance usually included. The rental provider owns the system.
